Past Environments of Mexico: Unveiling the Past Environments of a Megadiverse Country Through its Fossil Record: Springer Geology

Editat de Rosalía Guerrero-Arenas, Eduardo Jiménez-Hidalgo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2024
Mexico is a biodiverse country. The dynamics of environments from Mexico played a crucial role in the history of North American biota. This book analyzes the paleoenvironmental conditions using several biological groups and various methods. This book also demonstrates how this information is specifically used to elucidate Mexico‘s past environments and habitats (terrestrial, freshwater, and marine). This book fills an existing editorial gap since much of the information is dispersed in several bibliographic sources.
The authors are active paleontologists in diverse Mexican universities and research centers. Their research activities contribute to the knowledge of the Mexican biota through geologic time.

Notă biografică

Rosalía Guerrero-Arenas is Professor in the Universidad del Mar since 2004. Her basic research interest is the reconstruction of paleoenvironments using biological proxies, including ichnofossils. She is also interested in the vinculation of science with society, specially younger people. She is member of the Paleontology Council, INAH, for the last four years. She belongs to the National System of Researches (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores), Mexico.
