AND THE AWARDS GO TO… We had an absolute blast at #Paleo4Alps, but the highlight was definitely seeing our team get recognized for their hard work! Joel Koelewijn won the Poster Award! Aldo Benites Palomino delivered the best talk by Senior Scientists! Bastian Seidl snagged the Young Scientist Award! 🥳 Congrats to all three on […]

How do organisms respond to rapid environmental change? Which species are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and which mechanisms determine their long-term evolutionary success? These are a few key questions addressed by researchers at the Chair of Palaeoenvironment at the GeoZentrum Nordbayern. Their work combines insights from palaeontology with state-of-the-art analytical methods, prov…

From 7 to 11 September 2026, the GeoZentrum Nordbayern, organized by the Chair of Endogenous Geodynamics, will host an international workshop for students. The workshop will focus on the use of portable analytical instruments, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Raman spectrometers, for the exploration of metal deposits.In addition to hands-on training with these instruments, participants [&#8…

The Endogenous Geodynamics research group joined international collaborators for a field campaign on the Greek island of Samothraki to collect rock samples and investigate the island's magmatic evolution and hydrothermal history.

Modern LEDs and digital image processing in fluorescence microscopy make it possible to visualise skeletal structures that would otherwise be impossible (or very difficult) to detect in thin sections. Patrycja Dworczak, who is currently working as a postdoc with us at the GZN in Erlangen (Germany), has, together with her co-authors, applied this method to […]
