ARD-alpha : “What caused the great mass extinctions of Earth’s history?” – Prof. Wolfgang Kießling
In Earth’s history, there have been several catastrophes in which a large part of life on Earth has been wiped out. In the programme Campus Talks on ARD-alpha, Wolfgang Kießling shows parallels to the current climate situation on Earth. He gives an outlook to what extent a mass extinction of species is to be expected […]

Incorporating Information on Varying Sedimentation Rates Into Paleontological Analyses
Ist die Häufung von Aussterbeereignissen wirklich ein Anstieg der Aussterberate oder wird sie lediglich durch verringerte Sedimentationsraten verursacht, die den Abstand zwischen einzelnen Aussterbeereignissen mit langen Pausen dazwischen verringern? Niklas Hohmann, Masterstudent der Paläobiologie, hat diese Frage in seiner Bachelorarbeit untersucht, die nun in PALAIOS veröffentlicht wurde (Hohmann 2021). Die von ihm entwickelten Methoden wurden […]Ist die Häufung von Aussterbeereignissen wirklich ein Anstieg der Aussterberate oder wird sie lediglich durch verringerte Sedimentationsraten verursacht, die den Abstand zwischen einzelnen Aussterbeereignissen mit langen Pausen dazwischen verringern?

Effect of depositional rates on proxies in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions – new article by Jarochowska et al.
The depositional rate reflects how quickly a given thickness of sedimentary rock forms. Abrupt changes in environmental signals recorded in an interval of strata can be the result of (1) fast changes in environmental conditions and average sedimentation rate or (2) average changes in environmental conditions and slow sedimentation rate. To correct for this effect, […]

PalaeoFAU’s Ammonite video won 2nd place in the Palaeovision Fossil Contest!!!!
To bring us all together in these difficult times, the Annual Meeting of The Palaeontological Association 2020 ended with the Palaeovision Fossil Contest. This is an online, interactive, international competition to decide the Annual Meeting’s favourite fossil for this year. The master students of the second semester – Paleontology (FAU) successfully completed a video about […]
