Pollen analysis
Heikki Seppä, Niina Kuosmanen
-pollen grains are microfossils produced by plants-pollen analysis is a basic technique for investigating plant evolution, vegetation development and ecosystem changes-course: lake sampling, pollen sample preparation, introduction to microscopy, introduction to pollen idenfication-introduction to late-Quaternary palaeoecology in N Europe
trizonocolpate reticulate (Salix)
Hypsodonty map of Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia for 11-7 Ma
illustrating palaeogeographic effects on climate
Eronen et al., 2009 (PNAS)
