Reconstructing Earth’s past allows us to better understand the present world we inhabit and how the Earth system may change in the future. Using the chemical, sedimentological, and fossil evidence in the geologic record, our students and faculty research how life and environments changed throughout Earth history in order to improve predictions about how today’s environments may respond to future events, both gradual and catastrophic. This knowledge is the foundation for preparing our society for life on an ever-changing Earth.
