MSc in IdEA-M: Industrial & Environmental Applications in MICROPALEONTOLOGY

Are you interested in the fascinating world of microfossils?

In the Master’s programme “Industrial and Environmental Applications in Micropaleontology”, you will be trained in the main microfossil groups (nannofossils and coccolithophores, foraminifera, pollen, dinoflagellates and other palynomorphs, ostracods, siliceous microfossils etc.) and their applications.

This Master’s Program is a multidisciplinary, combined taught (lectures and practicals) and research-based (long project) course covering biostratigraphy, applied, industrial Micropaleontology, and environmental Micropaleontology which provides training skills that can be applied in the energy industry: exploitation, renewable sources, decarbonization- alongside the environmental monitoring and past climatic variability.

The Micropalaeontological Society

Towards the advancement of the education of the public in the study of Micropalaeontology

The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) exists “to advance the education of the public in the study of Micropalaeontology” and is operated “exclusively for scientific and educational purposes and not for profit”. It was initiated as The British Micropalaeontological Group (BMG) in 1970, following a proposal by Professor Leslie Moore of the University of Sheffield and several colleagues who wished to organise a group of palaeontologists with a mutual interest in the micropalaeontological study of British type sections and the provision of a forum for the communication of their results.
