Abstract: | The Sedimentary Petrology laboratory mainly studies Palaeozoic and Mesozoic carbonate-containing sediments. The research topics studied include reef and littoral sedimentation processes, basin dynamics, cyclostratigraphy, microbiological interference with sedimentation and climates of the past.
Research topics related to the marine field are:
- sedimentation processes and use of proxies in order to reconstruct the palaeoenvironments;
- astronomical calibration of geologic times, climate of the past;
- Palaeozoic and Mesozoic coral reefs, mounds and atolls.
