PaleoNet: Palaeoverse Lecture Series

[Lewis Jones]

Dear all,


We are excited to share with you our new Palaeoverse lecture series focused on software development and methodological approaches in palaeontology. The aim of this series is to promote the use of new tools in the field and to give researchers a platform to showcase their work. The format is intended to be flexible but will generally include a short seminar followed by a demonstration of the speaker's software toolkit and/or method, and will conclude with a group discussion. The lectures will be held on the last Thursday of each month between 14:00–15:00 UTC.


This semester, we'll be joined by the following four speakers:


February 29th - Dr Emily Mitchell (University of Cambridge) - Using Spatial point process analyses to quantify the behavioural ecology behind trace fossils

March 28th - Dr Benjamin Shipley (University of Oxford) - Modelling species range shifts in the past and future

April 25th - Laura Mulvey (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) - Assessing the adequacy of morphological models used in palaeobiology

May 30th - Prof. Daniele Silvestro (University of Fribourg) - Neural network models to infer diversity trajectories and the drivers of speciation and extinction

All the best,

p.s. If you would be interested in giving a lecture on a method/software toolkit you have developed, please feel free to get in contact.
