We are one of the leading centres of palaeontology and geobiology research in the UK and globally._x000D_ Our MScR degree is the only such programme in palaeontology and geobiology in the UK._x000D_ Why Edinburgh_x000D_ Edinburgh has an excellent public and academic presence in Palaeobiology and Geobiology._x000D_ The programme leaders Steve Brusatte and Rachel Wood are leading researchers in the field whose research focuses on key questions like the:_x000D_ origin of major groups of animals_x000D_ interaction between evolution and environmental change_x000D_ genealogical relationships of living and extinct species_x000D_ influence of mass extinctions on the history of life._x000D_ Along with being regularly published in leading journals, their work has been extensively profiled by the popular press, and they are keen science writers and communicators._x000D_ In addition, we can offer you a critical mass of staff in palaeobiology, geochemistry, geobiology and astrobiology to support your pursuit of this degree._x000D_ Our research staff have published work in high impact international journals such as Nature, Science and PNAS._x000D_ Collaborations_x000D_ You will benefit from our strong collaborations with the National Museum of Scotland, our country’s leading natural history and cultural museum, with world renowned collections of fossils._x000D_ We are co-founders of the PalAlba Group, a consortium of scientists, conservation specialists and collectors working together to recover, record and research vertebrate fossils from Scotland._x000D_ We also work closely with geologists, biologists, astrobiologists, chemists, physicists, engineers and other scientists at the University of Edinburgh, who will be available to co-supervise your MScR research projects._x000D_ Field work_x000D_ Our School of GeoSciences conducts fieldwork across the globe, from searching for fossils of dinosaurs in Romania and primitive mammals in the western United States, to studying how environmental changes helped usher in the rise of animals in Namibia, China and Russia._x000D_ We also have active field programs in Scotland. You might have the opportunity to join a team in hands-on fieldwork on the Isle of Skye, one of the best places in the world to find fossils from the mysterious middle part of the Jurassic Period, including some of the first colossal long-necked dinosaurs and primitive flesh-eating tyrannosaurs, or other Scottish fossil sites._x000D_ You will also be able to take part in annual trips to world-renowned fossil sites around Edinburgh, where the sciences of geology and palaeontology were forged in the 18th and 19th centuries._x000D_ Many of the best MScR projects have a field component, and you will be encouraged to make fieldwork a part of your dissertation topic._x000D_ Outreach_x000D_ Our staff are world leaders in communicating science to the general public. They have written numerous books - ranging from children’s books to adult popular science tomes to textbooks - and appear regularly on television and radio._x000D_ Their work is profiled often by the popular press, so keep your ears tuned when the radio is on, and your eyes peeled when reading the newspaper or science blogs, because you will probably hear about our work._x000D_ A major highlight of this degree is that it combines research with scientific outreach._x000D_ You will gain skills in communicating your research through print, online and digital means, learning directly from scholars who are keen popularisers of science and well-known science writers._x000D_ Learn how to promote public awareness and understanding of key 21st century issues that relate to palaeontology and geobiology, such as extinctions, climate change and biodiversity.
