Analytical Paleobiology Workshop Materials available now online!

The organizers of the Analytical Paleobiology Workshop are pleased to announce that the course materials for the 2018 edition of the workshop are now freely accessible online at www.analytical.paleobiology.de. Please click on ‘course materials’ tab to access the materials.

The 2018 Analytical Paleobiology Workshop, dedicated to analytical training of graduate students in paleobiology, was motivated by the success of the Fossilworks Intensive Workshop in Analytical Palaeobiology (http://fossilworks.org/?page=workshop) developed and coordinated by John Alroy (Macquarie University).

The 2018 workshop, hosted by the Florida Museum of Natural History (University of Florida), was made possible thanks to generous support of the Paleontological Society, NSF Sedimentary Geology & Paleobiology Program, NSF-Funded Research Coordination Network (Earth Rates), and the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.

The materials posted at www.analytical.paleobiology.de, provided by 2018 instructors and other contributors, offer diverse materials: lectures, R-tutorials, and exercises. These materials introduce common analytical methods used in paleontological research. Instructors have posted by now most of the course materials. However, not all instructors uploaded all their files. Additional materials will be forthcoming in the near future.

The course materials for the 2019 edition (June - July 2019, UC Riverside) will be posted on the same website in the next several months.

Thanks to the teachers and organizers for making these materials available!
