Research area:
|
- Micropaleontology, Paleoceanography, Paleoclimate, Paleoclimatology
|
| Research interest:
|
- Validation of the relationship between pore characteristics in benthic
foraminferal tests and bottom-water oxygenation as a possible paleo-proxy for
quantitative oxygen reconstructions
- Reconstruction of Cenozoic paleoceanography and paleoclimate on the basis
of benthic foraminifera (e.g. assemblage counts, shell chemistry,
morphometry)
- Impact of past long- and short-term climate changes on the stability and
dynamics of marine paleoecosystems in open oceans and marginal seas
- Causes and effects of Oceanic Anoxic Events, leading to the formation of
massive carbon-rich sediments (e.g. Sapropel formation in the eastern
Mediterranean Sea)
