Official launch of the new journal "Interdisciplinary Egyptology" co-founded by Dr Amber Hood, one of our geoarchaeologists/archaeological scientists
This Friday (23 April 2021) is the official opening for submissions to the new journal Interdisciplinary Egyptology. Co-founded by Dr Amber Hood, one of our geoarchaeologists/archaeological scientists at the Department of Geology, this is an exciting new initiative that she has been working on with her fellow Egyptologists Dr Aaron de Souza (Austrian Academy of Sciences) and Prof Christiana Köhler
Study reveals extent of human impact on the world’s plant-life
Research has shed new light on the impact of humans on Earth’s biodiversity. The findings suggest that the rate of change in an ecosystem’s plant-life increases significantly during the years following human settlement, with the most dramatic changes occurring in locations colonized in the last 1500 years. An international research team, including Karl Ljung and Svante Björck, studied fossilised

Brittle star fossils provide insights into when, how and why major evolutionary change occurs in Earth history
Present-day biodiversity is the result of millions of years of evolutionary change. Although we can trace back in time most of the major organismal groups using fossils, the very origin of these clades is generally deemed impossible to grasp, hampering our understanding of what drives evolutionary innovations. An international team of paleontologists, including Mats Eriksson and Johan Lindgren, re
