About us
Understanding past ecologies and accurately reconstructing fossil environments from the geological record is critical to modern palaeontological studies. Such analyses provide the necessary environmental background which influences and ultimately drive the evolution of all organisms. Moreover, understanding where our world’s current biota came from and how it has reacted to climatic disturbances in the past is critical to making evidence-based predictions of the future of our endangered ecosystems. The Vertebrate Palaecology Research Group (VPRG) is part of the School of … Find out more
