Title – Short-lasted changes of the 
palaeoecosystems during the post-Glacial: tendencies and prognoses.

Supervisor – dr. Migle Stancikaite

Summary – The main goal of the work will be the 
indication, chronologization and investigation of 
the short-lasted changes of the palaeoecosystems 
recorded in the Lateglacial and Holocene sediment 
sequences. Similar variations of the environment 
may have influenced flora and fauna, human life, 
development and distribution of the particular 
cultures. These changes could be ascribed as the 
potential indicators of the subsequent global 
variations of the climate and the environment. 
Palaeobotanical investigations are going to be 
one of the main data sources for the following interpretations.

The main of the internship:
- study of the methodological aspects for the 
investigation of the post-Glacial palaeoecosystems;
- studies of the palaeobotanical methods (pollen and plant macro remains);
- indication and charakterization of the 
short-lasted changes of the palaeoecosystems 
during the post-Glacial; regional and global correlation of the obtained data;
- publication of the data;

Duration of the internship – 2 year (2008-2009 years).

Qualification requirements: a doctor degree in 
physical or biomedicine sciences, publications in 
the high rank scientific journals, good knowledge 
of the foreign language, English preferable. 
Knowledge in the ecosystem dynamics is desirable.
