Future Research Directions in Paleontology

lapel pinThe Deep Time Earth-Life Observatory Network (DETELON) is designed as a program to address integrative problems
of Earth history in a coordinated fashion to provide better tools towards predicting the behavior of the Earth-Life system. The concept of a DETELON emerged from and NSF funded community workshop in response to the need to address key issues of societal importance caused by fundamental environmental change. Go to the DETELON page to learn more.
