The Eocene–Oligocene Transition in the Paratethys: boreal water ingression and its paleoceanographic implications
Abstract. The Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT) represents a pivotal period in Earth's climatic history, marked by the onset of Antarctic glaciation and global cooling. While deep-sea records have ext...

A new paper funded by our project, focusing on Asian paleogeography!
It explores the different scenarios for the India-Asia collision, which is particularly important to understand Africa-Eurasia dispersal pathways.

🚨New paper🚨 When studying paleoenvironments and paleogeography in Asia, at some point in your career, you have to take a stab at the India-Asia collision. Well, I just did—in a freshly published paper:
