Sedimentary Systems
The Research Group for Sedimentary Systems studies Earth's sedimentary record to reconstruct ancient environments and processes, Earth geo- and biological evolution and climate history, and sedimentary basins.
Sedimentary systems offer us an archive that documents changes in climate history, chemical and life evolution, environmental factors and dynamic processes at the surface of the Earth.
To read the sedimentary rock record, the group applies a broad set of stratigraphic, sedimentological, geomicrobiological, palaeobiological, biogeochemical, structural and geophysical methods. These investigations involve field sampling of sedimentary successions, lakes and oceans. Laboratory-based experiments, as well as the interpretation of boreholes, seismic data, and theoretical modeling of basinal parameters, palaeoclimate and oceanography aid us to reconstruct past Earth systems and build projections for future environmental change.
