In this week's palaeo seminar, our own Daniela Schmidt told us about palaeontology's contribution to understanding climate change, including her work informing policy from IPCC to local government UoB Palaeobiology

This week's palaeo research seminar UoB Palaeobiology was from Field Palaeobiology Research Group on '200 years of dinosaurs, avian antecedents', a review of Dan's group's amazing discoveries of the past few years, plus equally exciting new insights into early bird evolution

Our latest, led by James Clark of Milner Centre for Evolution shows that the notorious mismatch between molecular and palaeontological estimates for the timing of origin of flowering plants is a consequence of the equivocal interpretation of their fossil record royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
