Paleoenvironmental Dynamics Group
The Working Group
Prof. Joerg Pross
Research interests:
- Terrestrial and marine environmental change during the Meso- and Cenozoic, especially extreme climate transitions
- Land-sea correlation
- Primary producers (terrestrial: pollen and spores; marine: dinoflagellate cysts) as paleoenvironmental indicators
- Palynofacies analysis
Dr. Bas van de Schootbrugge
Research interests:
- Mesozoic paleoceanography: stable isotope proxy records
- Black shales: Toarcian OAE, Quaternary sapropels
- Palynology: organic-walled phytoplankton, pollen, spores
- Mass-extinctions: T/J boundary
- Biogeology: symbiosis in the fossil record
Dr. Ulrich C. Mueller
Research interests:
- Quaternary geology
- Palynology
- Climatic and environmental changes during icehouse conditions
- Land-sea correlation
- Forcing, mechanisms and consequences of abrupt climate changes
Dipl.-Geol. Ulrich Kotthoff
Research interests:
- Quaternary palynology
- Land-sea correlation in the Eastern Mediterranean region
- Holocene vegetation dynamics
- Dinoflagellate cysts as paleoenvironmental indicators
Dipl.-Geol. Franziska Schellenberg
Research interests:
- Reaction of terrestrial environments to high-frequency climatic changes: signals of lower latitudes under super-greenhouse conditions during the Middle Cretaceous (ODP Leg 207, Demerara Rise)
- Thermal alteration of palynomorphs
