GEOL 6102. Earth Systems Analysis: Paleo-Environments. Paleoenvironments. (3) Current working hypotheses and research methods are reviewed for the study of paleoenvironments. The interrelationships of tectonics, paleogeography, biogeography, and orbital climate forcing, as represented in the geologic record, are discussed and reviewed in light of modern concerns for climate change. The interrelationships of tectonics, sediment supply and eustacy, and their effects on paleogeography and biogeography are discussed, and compared to studies of analogous modern depositional environments.
