Matthias Sinnesael

Matthias Sinnesael completed his PhD ‘Astronomical Cycle Identification – New Methodological Approaches and Application to High-Resolution Ordovician Stratigraphy’ in 2020 (Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Ghent University, Belgium) and currently works as a post-doc at Durham University (UK) on the development of Bayesian stratigraphic models applied to the Cambrian. Matthias has a strong interest in cyclostratigraphy, integrated stratigraphy and paleoclimatology.

Cyclostratigraphers aim to read and understand the effect of climate-driven orbital changes in the geological record through time. In doing so, they start from an important prerequisite: An imprint of insolation variations caused by Earth’s orbital eccentricity, obliquity and/or precession (Milankovitch forcing) can be preserved in the geological rock record.
