Malta – Geology and history of a Mediterranean island – Part 1
Lecturer: Jürgen Reinhardt

The isle of Malta is a great place to flew from the coldness of central Europe during wintertime. Malta’s history is exciting and covers the megalithic culture as well as the history of the Templar and the Maltese Order. Additionally, the natural history of Malta is a rich field. Cenozoic sediments crop out in a large area of the isle and contain shark teeth, echinoids and mussels that are evident for a warm climate already in Earth history.
