Science communication video battle by Masters students of Earth Systems Research Lab
Students of the Masters major Earth Systems Research Lab have created short videos about their research projects. This initiative was supported with a grant awarded to Dr. Emilia Jarochowska by the „QuiS II TP 08 – Digitalisierung der Lehre“ initiative of the FAU’s Institut für Lern-Innovation. On 13. November the videos competed in a public […]

Niklas Hohmann – “Enforced symmetry: the necessity of symmetric waxing and waning”, PeerJ
Scientists have assumed that species display a life cycle which is similar to the the life of humans, being divided into puberty, maturity, and old age. Paleobiology student Niklas Hohmann and Dr. Emilia Jarochowska showed in their recent publication that these life cycles are mathematical relics and do not carry a specific ecological meaning. They […]

Dr. Florian Janik, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kiessling, Boas Ruh and Tessa Demleitner – Panel Discussion on the Lecture “How Much Time Remains” at the Long Night of Science, October 2019
Climate change is perceived very differently in our society. The natural sciences often set completely different priorities here than, for example, politics or economics. And how does tomorrow’s generation see this development? At the Long Night of Sciences, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kießling, Dr. Florian Janik, Lord Mayor of Erlangen, Boas Ruh from the Neue Zürcher […]

“How much time does the advancing climate change leave us?”, lecture by Prof. Wolfgang Kiessling at the Long Night of Science, October 2019
Climate change is progressing faster than we would have dreamed a few years ago. The consequences for people and the environment are already clearly noticeable, but we are only at the beginning of accelerating global warming. Climate sceptics often stress that climate change has always existed, but forget to mention the dramatic consequences it could […]

The 2019 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Award is awarded to Theresa Nohl!
At The European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2019 in Vienna Theresa presented a synsedimentary-grown Halysites (chain coral) colony from the Silurian of Gotland crosscutting several beds of the circumambient limestone-marl alternation. The limestone-marl alternation was identified to be of early diagenetic origin and mismatches the original environmental changes recorded in the coral’s skeleton. Furthermore, the short […]At The European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2019 in Vienna Theresa presented a synsedimentary-grown Halysites (chain coral) colony from the Silurian of Gotland crosscutting several beds of the circumambient limestone-marl alternation.

Talk of PD Dr. Kenneth de Baets (GZN): “Gasping fish and panting belemnites: Warming, growth and migration of water-breathing animals ” in Hörsaal Geologie
On October 21, 5pm, PD Dr. Kenneth de Baets (GZN) will give a talk “Gasping fish and panting belemnites: Warming, growth and migration of water-breathing animals ” in Hörsaal Geologie, GeoZentrums Nordbayern, Schlossgarten 5. The Pliensbachian-Toarcian transition has been considered a major bottleneck in the early evolution of belemnites probably related to major paleoenvironmental and […]
