Paleoenvironment Analysis

Paleoenvironment analysis is the study of ancient environments by examining natural clues like fossils, minerals, and chemical traces in rocks. Through these clues, scientists reconstruct what the Earth's climate, landscape, and ecosystems were like millions of years ago. This helps us understand how past environments changed over time, how they influenced the evolution of life, and provides insights into climate patterns and natural history. Essentially, it’s like being a detective, using clues from the distant past to tell the story of Earth's ancient environments.
