Palaeoenvironmental research group (PALAE)
The research group focuses on the palaeoenvironment: fauna, vegetation, climate and environmental changes. Research within botany: palynology, plant macro remains and ecology, quaternary zoology: osteology and invertebrates, and geology: building stones, is included.
Visions:
investigate past biological and cultural processes by studying paleobiological and geological remains in soil, bogs and lakes.
MSc in palaeobiology?
We offer a range of MSc thesis within pollen analysis, palaeozoology (osteology) and cultural landscape development. Please contact one of the group members.
The museum collections are the basis for the research for
most of the scientists in the group. Some of the collections
have been and are still being built up over nearly a century
through interdisciplinary cooperation, within the fields
of osteology/paleozoology and palynology there is a long
tradition of interdisciplinary cooperation, in particular
with archaeology and geology.
