The group is currently working on various projects to gain new insights into Mesozoic to Holocene climate and ocean circulation, diagenesis of carbonate sequences, geomicrobiology and global biogeochemical cycles. In addition, the team is developing a novel tool for paleoclimate reconstructions the carbonate clumped isotope thermometer.
The Climate Geology group is involved in various courses within the Departement of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich. This includes lectures, lab practicals, excursions and field courses.
Marine algae are vital in capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. As CO2 levels rise, we need to understand how algae adapt, which could influence their productivity and the oceans ability to absorb CO2.
Each year, approximately 350 outstanding international students and researchers are awarded Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships. In an exclusive interview with the SERI news portal, Stefano Bernasconi, the newly appointed president of the Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students, discusses the significant impact of these scholarships as career springboards, particularly for researchers from lower-income countries.
Congratulations to Thomas Tanner, who has successfully defended his PhD thesis "Interactions between climate, CO2 and ice volume during the Oligocene and Miocene".
