Climate: Past, Present & Future

Chiara Költringer

Chiara Költringer holds a Master of Geology specialised in structural and metamorphic geology and geochronology. She is presently graduating from her PhD studies dealing with the reconstruction of past environment and sediment dynamics in the Black Sea-Caspian Sea region at Uppsala University and is also available for Post-Doctoral projects. Her current research focuses on the implications of the rock cycle, climate, environment, and landscape using rock magnetism, geochemistry, and heavy mineral geochronology. Current affiliation: Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University, Villavägen 16, 75236, Uppsala, Sweden.

Detrital zircons: how the age of a resistant mineral can help to reconstruct the climate of the past

Detrital zircons: how the age of a resistant mineral can help to reconstruct the climate of the past

Name of proxy detrital zircon geochronology Type of record provenance proxy Paleoenvironment any sedimentary environment in a geologically diverse and diagnostic area Period of time investigated any Period of the geological timescale of the Earth, during which sedimentary deposits were formed   How does it work? Igneous rocks form through assemblages of minerals crystallising from melt. While ...[Read More]
