Palaeontology

Department of Geography and Geosciences


 

In section Paleobiology and Paleoenvironments, we study the evolution of ecosystems over long timescales. We deduce the environmental factors which significantly influenced the emergence and disappearance of communities throughout Earth’s history, alongside predicting the effects of modern day anthropogenic climate change on future ecosystems. To achieve this we combine geological fieldwork, state-of-the-art analytical methods, palaeobiological databases and statistical analysis.

The key to prehistory reminds a little of a heart. But the 150-million-year-old coral is not red, but beige. It also doesn't breathe oxygen, but history. "This coral wants to tell us something" says Prof. Wolfgang Kiessling, Chair of Paleoenvironment. Read more...
