Paleobilogy MSc student publishes on climatology
Nussaïbah B. Raja, a master’s student in paleobiology, has published an article in Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics in collaboration with Olgu Aydin. In her study, she analyzes precipitation variability in Mauritius between 1981 and 2010. She has demonstrated that the frequency of extreme precipitation events in the region has increased.

Effects of climate change in alpine systems
Researchers led by Prof. Manuel Steinbauer from the Chair of System Paleobiology at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), together with scientists from eleven countries, have succeeded in proving for the first time that species diversity on mountain peaks across Europe is increasing and that this is happening at an ever-faster rate. They have now published their […]

Master Thesis by Jan-Filip Päßler (GZN Alumnus) published in Frontiers in Earth Science
Jan-Filip Päßler, a master’s student in paleobiology at FAU, collaborated with Emilia Jarochowska, Michel Bestmann, and Axel Munnecke to use EBSD, a materials science method, to examine fossil structures crystallographically in order to classify them into biological groups. The work was published in Frontiers in Earth Science in an open access article and appeared on […]
