Ecological response to environmental change in the Boreal Realm and the origins of three mass extinction events Aug 1, 2013 - Jan 31, 2020
Since the Cambrian Explosion of life on Earth, about 540 million years ago (Ma), ecosystems have been suffered repeated mass extinctions. There have been at least five major extinctions since then, most recently the famous event 65Ma, that wiped out...

Volcanic and climatic impacts on Permian biota across Russian ecological zones Aug 1, 2015 - Jul 31, 2017
This project will reconstruct the Permian palaeoenvironmental history from field sites in Russia. The aim is to test the multiple effects of repeated episodes of “large igneous province” volcanism (which is linked to cooling, warming, oxygen depletio...

Environmental change, evolution and extinction in the Triassic of northwest Pangaea Jun 1, 2021 - Jul 31, 2024
This project examines “Environmental change, evolution and extinction in the Triassic of northwest Pangaea”. The Triassic period started unfavourably for life, with an unusually long and protracted recovery from the greatest biotic crisis in Earth h...
