Descobertos os mais antigos fósseis de plantas terrestres







Os mais antigos fósseis de plantas terrestres foram encontrados na Argentina. Estas plantas colonizaram a terra há 472 milhões de anos, cerca de 10 milhões de anos mais cedo do que se pensava.

Short Course in Radiocarbon Dating

Short Course in Radiocarbon Dating


23 a 24 de Março de 2011

Oxford university


This course is aimed at a wide community of radiocarbon users, including Quaternary
geologists, palaeobiologists, archaeologists and marine geoscientists. It will cover key aspects

of radiocarbon dating including sample selection, laboratory processes and Bayesian analyses of

radiocarbon dates. Various aspects relating to the production and interpretation of radiocarbon

dating will be taught by members of the NERC Radiocarbon Facility, based at both Oxford and

East Kilbride. This course aims to become a core component of practical radiocarbon training in the UK.

The programme has been formulated to introduce radiocarbon dating to participants by exploring

- through lectures, tours and tutorials - the key issues essential to the reliable production of

radiocarbon dates. Due to keen interest by many members of the user community, an introduction

to Bayesian analysis in the interpretation of radiocarbon data has been included as part of the course.

This course has been developed by the NERC Radiocarbon Facility, which is NERC and AHRC

funded and consists of the science-based archaeology node at Oxford (Oxford Radiocarbon

Accelerator Unit: ORAU) and the environment node at East Kilbride (Scottish Universities

Environmental Research Centre: SUERC).

Sugestão do programa biosfera

O blogue 100bosques apresenta uma série de fotografias de bosques ibéricos (tão só 100!), tiradas pelo fotógrafo Kaiko...a este blogue está também associado um livro (já editado!) .

Estão também disponíveis uma série de informações associadas aos bosques patentes nas fotografias.

Bons passeios virtuais!

Software para análise estatística

 A estatística é uma ferramenta cada vez mais útil na análise de dados...por isso aqui vai um site com dois programas testados no âmbito da ecologia quantitativa e que poderá ter aplicabilidade em outras ciências nomeadamente a paleoecologia:


MULTIV 

Can perform flexible exploratory analysis, randomization testing and bootstrap resampling with multivariate data. It can handle qualitative, quantitative and mixed data types, offering several options for data transformation, resemblance measures, ordination and clustering techniques.

SYNCSA
Is an application program designed for the analysis of metacommunities based on functional traits and phylogeny of the community components.http://ecoqua.ecologia.ufrgs.br/ecoqua/SYNCSA.html
