Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology

Arne Ulfers

I am a PhD student at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) in Hannover/Germany. Associated with International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) projects, my focus is on the evolution of paleoenvironmental conditions in lacustrine sediments. I use cyclostratigraphic approaches to construct age-depth models, primarily based on geophysical borehole data, but also using various other geochemical/sedimentary proxies. My background in marine geosciences drives me to include marine (IODP) sites into my research.

Does half-precession influence European climate?

Does half-precession influence European climate?

What is half-precession? In the first half of the 20th century, the Serbian researcher Milutin Milanković described the periodic changes of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. In recent decades, changes in these Milanković cycles have been shown to have an impact on global climate, and information about this is preserved in geologic records through sedimentological processes. Today we can stud ...[Read More]
