The central objective is to convey the principles of palaeobotanical systematics. After the course the participants should be able to identify important fossil plant taxa and to understand the fossil record as reflecting the course of land plant evolution. Furthermore, the participants should obtain a basic knowledge on interactions between palaeoclimate and land plant evolution.
- Key competences:
-
Ziel des Moduls ist, dass die Studierenden nach dessen Abschluss in der Lage sind, die Grundlagen paläobotanischer Systematik zu beherrschen, wesentliche fossile Pflanzentaxa zu erkennen und die Evolution der Pflanzen anhand des Fossilbeleges nachzuvollziehen. Ferner sollen die Studierenden grundlegendes Wissen über wichtige Interaktionen der pflanzlichen Evolution mit dem Paläoklima haben.
