This course will provide an in depth and exploratory understanding of the causes for Mass Extinction events in Earth’s history, from 550 million years ago to the present day. The course will investigate the processes of mass extinction through geochemical, paleontological, and sedimentological data to track the triggers for and effects of mass extinctions on the co-evolution of the Earth system and biosphere in deep time. This course is designed to offer students an applied and interactive learning environment based on synthesis of the primary literature.
