The group GEOL studies the evolution of the environments throughout Earth history. The topics encompasses paleoclimatic research in the last few million years, essentially by investigating the continental record and second documenting the origins and consequences of major biological and climatic changes throughout geological time. Cratering processes by asteroid and comet impacts on Earth (or other planet) constitutes a major research topic ...

The research unit Isotope Geochemistry (GISO) develops research mainly in stable isotope geochemistry. Fractionation processes affecting the light stable isotopes of H, C, N, O, and S provide a powerful tool to study geological and other environmental systems. GISO focuses on paleoclimatical and paleo-environmental research, on sedimentary and diagenetic processes, on stratigraphic and global change studies and on hydrological, biogeochemical ...
