Our research

Our team members have different areas of expertise: marine geology, marine ecology, marine microbiology, environmental sciences, palaeoceanography and palaeoclimatology... You can learn about our fields of research by looking into our institutions, many of which actively supported the development of this project. Because life in academia is often accompanied by a lot of moving around the world, you may not find all of our profiles on these websites as we may have moved to another institution. Nonetheless, below you will find a list of our affiliations during the development of the books (2016-2017, 2018-2020).
