2nd Workshop and Fieldtrip of IGCP 655 Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event: Impact on marine carbon cycle and ecosystems.
Erlangen paleontologists and TERSANE members were in Coimbra for the 2nd International Workshop on the Toarcian Anoxic Event (2nd IW-TOAE). A total of 4 presentations, including 3 talks and one poster, were presented on the consequences of the TOAE on body size of marine invertebrates as well as its potential link with changes in seawater […]

Wear, tear and systematic repair: testing models of growth dynamics in conodonts with high-resolution imaging
The first paper of our PhD student Bryan Shirley has been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The co-authors are Madleen Grohganz, whose BSc thesis has contributed important data to the paper, Michel Bestmann from the Structural Geology group of the GeoZentrum, and Emilia Jarochowska. The paper employs innovative imaging methods to resolve […]

A peculiar connection between image processing and geology: a new preprint by a Master student
Connecting seemingly unrelated fields in science can yield surprising and fruitful insights and be the cause of great surprise. Who could have guesses that the way the geological record hides extinctions from us is mathematically equivalent to the methods teenagers use hide their pimples on their facebook profile pictures? If you want to know more […]
