One of the earliest
paleoenvironments of the Turkana basin was the Apak flood plain of the Pliocene epoch.
The results provide direct evidence in support of a forested southern Greenland and suggest that many deep ice cores may contain genetic records of
paleoenvironments in their basal sections.
Capturing the full picture of the mid-Pliocene's doppelganger climate requires reconstructing the whole
Arctic paleoenvironment from sparse bits of remains.
Cohen has been studying
the paleoenvironment of Lake Tanganyika and the surrounding region for decades.
So when we look back, we need to reimagine
the paleoenvironment.
It is difficult to obtain fossil data from the 10 % of Earth's terrestrial surface that is covered by thick glaciers and ice sheets, and hence, knowledge of
the paleoenvironments of these regions has remained limited.
Now, a French team coordinated by María - Fernanda Sánchez - Goñi, a researcher at EPHE [1] working in the «Oceanic and Continental Environments and
Paleoenvironments» Laboratory (CNRS / Universités Bordeaux 1 & 4)[2] has solved this paradox.
I am working towards my thesis reconstructing
the paleoenvironment of a site at Olduvai Gorge.
