PAST ENVIRONMENTS AND CLIMATES
(objectives)
ONLY THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE PAST WE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND PRESENT TIMES. HOWEVER, “DEEP TIME” AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CONCEPT FOR A GEOLOGIST, IS NOT EASILY ASSIMILATED. THE STUDY OF PALEOCLIMATES AND PALEOENVIRONMENTS OF THE EARTH THROUGH TIME, FRAMED IN THEIR RELATIVE PALEOGEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT, PROVIDE A SOLID, NECESSARY BASIS FOR A STUDENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES.
