Context: Recent developments in genomics offer new opportunities to interrogate past ecosystems to characterize and understand changes that occurred over long-time periods, particularly those related to human activities. 

Objectives: To accompany this rise in genomics of past ecosystems, the GDR Génomique Environnementale (French network in environmental genomics) organizes a webinar entitled DNA et al. in paleoenvironments, with the following objectives: 1) to raise awareness of advances in this field among researchers working in environmental genomics as well as paleosciences, 2) to bring together communities of ecologists, paleontologists and genomicists, and 3) to develop initiatives in genomics of past ecosystems.

Program: The program includes three presentations illustrating  the interest of combining DNA-based methods with other proxies in paleoenvironmental studies. These talks will be followed by workshops designed to foster interactions and connections between participants; to discuss about the recent advances in paleogenomics; to bring together different scientific communities and expertises; to incite the emergence of collaborative and interdisciplinary initiatives.
