Coralline Algae: Strategies for Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction in the Miocene
Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the world of coralline algae in this 59-minute lecture from Seds Online. Discover why these common carbonate producers, found from pole to equator and throughout the photic zone, remain underutilized in shallow water limestone studies. Understand the challenges posed by their complex taxonomy and microscopic identification requirements. Learn time-effective strategies for using coralline algae in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, with a focus on the Miocene epoch where they were particularly abundant. Gain insights into overcoming the obstacles that have hindered their use as a study tool, and unlock the potential of these widespread organisms for enhancing our understanding of ancient marine environments.
