The study of fossil plants in the Department of Earth Sciences involves interdisciplinary research with several areas of geology, biology and chemistry. Current major fields of research interest include:
• The history and impact of fire
• Terrestrial palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimate proxies
• Molecular palaeobiology
• Events at the Cretaceous-Tertiary, Palaeocene/Eocene and Eocene/Oligocene boundaries
• The evolutionary interaction of animals and plants
• Ecology and evolution of Carboniferous vegetation
• Evolution of Tertiary terrestrial ecosystems
• Palynology and palynofacies as palaeoenvironmental indicators
• Land plants as sources of oil and coal and the evolution of coal-forming vegetation
• Entombment of vegetation by pyroclastic flows
