There is a workshop on Genetic Paleoecology at Denny Hall 313 on Thursday!

The QRC workshop in Genetic Paleoecology will be held this Thursday, Denny Hall 313. The speakers include experts on aquatic and terrestrial ancient DNA (sedaDNA) and environmental DNA (eDNA), as well as macrofossil approaches. The focus is on ways that paleogenetic approaches are able to contribute to the understanding of past ecosystem organization and change. Themes of the workshop include how advancing genetic approaches provide new tools for investigating landscape evolution, human-environmental dynamics and impacts, ecosystem resilience and vulnerability, biodiversity and conservation among other possible applications. We will also examine existing limitations and sources of uncertainty in the interpretation of aDNA data sets.
