教学目标
Course Objectives
通过开设本课程学，对古海洋和古气候学领域各类示踪指标和重大地质事件进行较为系统的介绍，从而让学生对地球
系统演变、大气圈-水圈-生物圈-岩石圈相互作用、生物地球化学循环、古环境研究指标、“将古论今”和“将古论
今”应用等有所了解，为今后从事海洋领域的科研工作奠定良好的专业基础、储备基本的专业技能。
This course delivers systematic introduction of major geological events in the Earth history and
archives for paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic reconstruction. The curriculum covers but is not
limited to the content of Earth system evolution, atmosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere-lithosphere
interactions, biogeochemical cycles, paleoenvironmental tracers, and the linkage between the past and
the future. The goal is to equip students with basic knowledge of marine sciences and to provide
professional skill sets for their future research.
