Paleoreconstructions from Corals and Lessons from Related Scientific Fields

1-2 mars 2023

Thomas Sheldrake

Dr. Sebastian Flöter, UNIGE

Prof. Thomas Felis, University of Bremen, Germany;

Dr. Nikita Kaushal, ETHZ, Switzerland;

Dr. Sébastien Guillet, UNIGR, Switzerland;

Dr. Claire Rollion-Bard, IPSL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France;

The theme of this two-day course is coral palaeoreconstruction and the lessons that can be learned from related scientific fields. On the first day, Dr. Thomas Felis and Dr. Claire Rollion-Bard, both experts in the field of coral biomineralization, will give an overview of coral geochemistry and examples of paleoreconstructions. Dr. Nikita Kaushal and Dr. Sébastien Guillet will give a lecture on speleothems and dendroecology respectively. The combination of these research areas should stimulate a discussion following the lectures on methods and concepts currently applied to coral paleoceanographic research and potentially new research ideas.
