Project 3: Astronomical solutions and the astronomical time scale beyond the 50 Ma predictability limit.
Brief project summary: This project will compute and select pre-50 Ma astronomical solutions in a piecewise manner, e.g., start at ~50 Ma and proceed back step-by-step through Earth history, using geological records to constrain the astronomical solutions. In turn, validated astronomical solutions will be used to extend the astronomical time scale back in time.

Project description: The research conducted in our group focuses on various topics. Several projects deal with element cycling in the ocean, atmosphere and biosphere. This includes greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and its impact on Earth's climate in the past present and future, as well as ocean acidification. Another major focus of our work includes paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, astrochronology, cyclostratigraphy, and astronomy, specifically numerical integrations of planetary systems.
