Research Profile

  • Application of benthic and planktic foraminifera as paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic proxies
  • Application of Nd isotopes as marine proxy for glacial weathering dynamics
  • Project: Short-term climate and ice-volume variability of the Late Oligocene (combined geochemical approach based on Mg/Ca, δ18O, and Nd-isotopes)
