Paleobotânica e Palinologia

Provide basic training with a view to characterizing the general aspects of plant evolution throughout Earth's history and its importance for stratigraphy and for the reconstitution and knowledge of past environments and climates.

They also include the characterization of objects of study in palynology (dinoflagellate cysts, spores, pollens) and aspects related to the applied use of these groups of fossils in chronostratigraphy and in the reconstitution of past environments and climates are developed.

Develop knowledge on Portuguese Paleobotany and Palynology, considering the most representative stratigraphic intervals;

Highlight the scientific, didactic and historical importance of fossils of plant macro-remnants and palynomorphs.
