Big Questions in Paleontology – The Paleosynthesis Project

Forschungsschwerpunkte

  • Räuber-Beute-Interaktionen im Fossilienbestand mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Weichtieren und Faktoren, die ihre Erhaltung beeinflussen
  • Anwendung der Fossilienaufzeichnungen zum Verständnis der modernen Biodiversitätskrise, insbesondere zur Bewertung der Auswirkungen menschlicher Aktivitäten auf Ökosysteme (d.h. Konservierungspaleobiologie)
  • In jedem dieser Forschungsbereiche bin ich auch sehr daran interessiert, neue analytische Ansätze zu entwickeln und Ansätze aus anderen Bereichen zu integrieren, um die Nützlichkeit und Übertragbarkeit paläontologischer Daten zu erhöhen.
