The focus of my research is:

• Palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographic evolution of the Tethyan margins and the Panthalassa Ocean
• Carbonates from these marine systems as archives of the global biological and ecological crisis at both the Permian/Triassic and Triassic/Jurassic boundaries
• Comparison at a high stratigraphic resolution between Tethyan and Panthalassan provinces to disentangle the factors controlling different organisms' distribution patterns and evolution
• Taxonomy and systematics of foraminifers as a tool for assessing past depositional and ecological conditions
• Delving deep into the Panthalassa Ocean - REEFCADE Project (see here below) 

 

The Triassic World: An analogue of the 6th mass extinction?

The REEFCADE long-term research project, created and driven by Professor Rossana Martini, started in 2007 and has since been supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)

Long term SNSF Project (2007 to 2022)

Upper Triassic - Lower Jurassic reef and carbonate build-up development as recorders of biotic, environmental and climatic changes (REEFCADE)
