Palynological study of Quaternary deposits from the Po Plain and Sheet 165 - Mantova

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The training programme requires: (i) specific taxonomic expertise in pollen identification and (ii) a general knowledge of the sequence stratigraphy of Late Pleistocene and Holocene successions. Training activities will be conducted at the Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences (University of Bologna) and at the C.A.A. Palynology and Archaeobotany Laboratory in San Giovanni in Persiceto (Bologna). The activity plan comprises: (i) a critical review of the literature on Quaternary pollen successions from the Po Plain; (ii) the collection and processing of sediment samples from boreholes; (iii) qualitative and quantitative analysis of pollen assemblages following standard procedures, including species-level identification; (iv) reconstruction of the palaeoclimatic evolution of the analysed successions; (v) their interpretation within a sequence-stratigraphic framework, (vi) the presentation of the processed data at national or international conferences.
