Prof. Nicolas Waldmann

Prof. Nicolas Waldmann is a geologist with a background in sedimentology and seismic stratigraphy analysis. He received his BSc and MSc from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his PhD from the University of Geneva (Switzerland). He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Bergen (Norway). His major research interests focus on marine geology and limnogeology with applications to paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, while deciphering processes occurring in both marine and lacustrine basins. Prof. Waldmann is particularly interested in deciphering the climate signatures imprinted in the sedimentary record through the amalgamation of physical, chemical, and biological proxies. Moreover, he contributes to studies related to the sedimentary architecture of basins, source-to-sink processes, basin environments, and hydrocarbon resources. He served as the national representative for ECORD (2015-2018) and ICDP-SAG (2018-2021). Currently, he serves as the Israel National Correspondent of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) and as co-chair of the International Association of Limnogeologists (IAL).
