Personal profile
Short presentation
I am interested in the interaction between the biosphere, geosphere and atmosphere. For this reason I study the impact of volcanism in large igneous provinces. In particular, I focus on the important primary producers - land plants (mainly pollen and spores) and phytoplankton - and try to use these to better understand climate and environment changes in deep time.
Short presentation
Research projects
- The impact of large igneous provinces on the geobiosphere - a close look at extinction events during deep time climate crises:
- the end-Permian mass extinction
- the end-Triassic mass extinction
- the early Jurassic extinction events
- PETM
- Mutations in land plants during mass extinction events
- The Permian-Triassic of Greenland
- Palaeocene to Neogene terrestrial climate of the Boreal realm
- Terrestrial-marine correlations
- AI and machine learning in palynology (APT project)
