Over the course of the Ph.D. project the student will be trained in all aspects of palynological research: sample collection, palynological sample preparation and lab management, microscopical analytical skills (LM and SEM), palynofacies analysis, techniques for analysis of thermal maturity and hydrocarbon potential, data handling and management using Stratabugs. The Centre for Palynology has been in existence since 1949 with over 300 graduating students (100+ Ph.D. and M.Phil. and 200+ M.Sc. and M.Res.).
