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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Author of the IPCC Assessment Report from the GeoZentrum
Prof. Wolfgang Kießling from the Chair of Paleoenvironment has been appointed as an author for the expert report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). The reports of the IPCC, often referred to as the “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,” are considered the basis for global climate policy. Wolfgang Kießling will play a leading […]
