About Us
- Carbonates as an archive of past global changes (paleoclimate and paleoceanography)
- Comparative sedimentology between modern and ancient carbonates
- Diagenesis and geochemistry of carbonate rocks
- Sedimentology of flysch deposits
- Biostratigraphic dating of sedimentary successions
- Multidisciplinary approach for disentangling the factors controlling different organisms distribution patterns and evolution
- Taxonomic revisions in the systematic of foraminifers
