PaleoNet: Palaeoverse Winter Lecture Series 2024–2025

[Lewis Jones]

Dear all,

We are excited to announce the Winter 2024 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 16:00–17:00 UTC (12:00 EDT)*.

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

October 31st - Niklas Hohmann, Utrecht University
Building modeling pipelines for stratigraphic paleobiology in R

*Nov. 21st (15:00 UTC) - Dr Roxanne Banker, Providence College
Quantitative approaches to understanding marine ecosystems: Insights from Stellar's Sea Cow and ancient food webs

December 19th - Dr Thomas Guillerme, University of Sheffield
Top 10 of the best disparity metrics to use in palaeobiology; number 10 might surprise you!

January 30th - Dr Ádám Kocsis, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
The ‘rgplates’ interface to tectonic calculations in R: overview, updates and related projects
