Abstract:
The Palaeontology and Palaeo-environments research group was founded in 1960. The group mainly focuses on reconstructing environmental conditions and the evolution of life from ancient Palaeozoic times to the current Anthropocene. The research gives insights in when, how and at which pace environments and climate changed in the past, and how this happened in tandem with the evolution of life on Earth.

The core specialisation of the research group is in palynology (the study of microfossils with an organic wall). These range from the remains of ancient tiny marine planktonic organisms to the spores and pollen of modern trees. The group studies the spatial and temporal distribution of these fossils, along with their geochemical composition, and also studies other and larger fossils (e.g. arthropods). The group uses stratigraphical methods, sedimentology, geological field observations and complex numerical climate models. Combined, these data inform us how ancient icecaps grew and disappeared again, how oceans and marine life evolved, how the biosphere, oceans and atmosphere interacted, how and when humans settled in our region and what processes govern the evolution of life. Research of how life on Earth responded to major environmental changes in the past can help predicting how it may respond in the future.

The current specific research projects involve:
  • palaeoecology of Neogene and Quaternary dinoflagellate cysts;
  • the use of dinoflagellate cysts as a proxy for palaeoenvironmental changes;
  • the development and validation of climate proxies based on Neogene and Quaternary dinoflagellate cysts;
  • biostratigraphy of Cenozoic dinoflagellate cysts;
  • the use of pollen as a proxy for vegetation and Quaternary palaeoenvironmental reconstructions;
  • palaeoecology and biostratigraphy of mid-Palaeozoic chitinozoans and acritarchs;
  • fossil teratology as a palaeoenvironmental proxy;
  • Ordovician and Silurian palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimate reconstructions;
  • geochemical characterisation of Palaeozoic and Cenozoic palynomorphs;
  • palaeobiology of exceptionally perserved Palaeozoic biota;
  • stable isotopic analyses (O/C) of fossil plankton;
  • environmetal triggers of large-scale macro-evolutionary events, including major radiations and mass-exinctions in the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic.
