"The tectonic re-equilibration after the Variscan orogeny coincided with widespread early Permian post-collisional magmatism in southern Europe. A full understanding of the origin of this magmatism in the South Variscan realm and its relationship to major tectonic events such as subduction, contine...
"Reefs are important hotspots of marine biodiversity today, and acted as cradles of diversification in the geological past. However, we know little about how the diversity of reef-supporting regions varied through deep time, and how this differed from other regions. We quantified regional diversity...
"Cliffs, all over the world, are often exceptionally rich in endemic, rare and endangered plant species. Historically, cliffs have been among the least human-disturbed habitats, but they now face increasing direct and indirect pressures. Human activities, such as recreational rock climbing, can lea...
"Both natural and human-induced stressors cause reef erosion, resulting in reef rubble formation. When consolidated, the rubble can facilitate reef recovery, sparking interest in artificial rubble stabilization as a method for reef restoration. However, our understanding of the natural processes go...
"Disturbance events such as volcanic eruptions modify ecosystems by changing the physical environment and resource availability. However, there is a notable lack of paleontological research addressing disturbance ecology in volcanic habitats. This study addresses the under-researched field of distu...
"Amid global challenges like climate change, extinctions, and disease epidemics, science and society require nuanced, international solutions that are grounded in robust, interdisciplinary perspectives and datasets that span deep time. Natural history collections, from modern biological specimens t...
We are opening the first call in 2025 for workshop proposals! This time - we extended - and you have three months to submit your idea. Further information is provided here.
Only two weeks until the Summer School application deadline and right after that our workshop call! Check back to make sure you don't miss it. Workshop info? Click here
Recent developments have led us to immediately resign from X where science is no longer supported and fake news and trolls abound. We hope to meet all our followers here, on Insta, FB or Bluesky or on our WhatsApp channel.
