👉 Paleolimnology is a field of study that focuses on the paleoenvironment, specifically the environment of the past. It is concerned with understanding the conditions and processes that shaped the Earth's climate and ecosystems during the Paleozoic era (about 460 million years ago to about 355 million years ago). This includes studies of the history of water availability, vegetation, and animal communities. Paleolimnology also examines the impact of human activities on the environment
