This mini symposium aims to present exciting new work and future prospects about research utilizing DNA preserved in environmental archives, called sedimentary ancient DNA.

Registration: https://forms.gle/6ZhcFzH1AfBPGf9t6

This tool can be used to reconstruct the past terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. Among the main avenues, long term vegetation history in lake catchment, distribution of macro and mega fauna as well as the impacts of environmental changes on aquatic plankton have been revealed using the sedimentary DNA based approach. Collectively, this research advances our knowledge about past ecosystem changes and the role of humans in such changes.

The symposium welcomes several guest speakers, promising an exciting forum for the sedaDNA Scientific Society!
