Jiří Laurin

Jiří Laurin studies the record of climate change in sedimentary archives of greenhouse and icehouse regimes.

The research interests include:

• Astronomical control on the carbon cycle and sea-level change in the Cretaceous greenhouse (~95 – 90 Myr ago)
• Transfer and distortion of Milankovitch signals in marine and terrestrial depositional systems
• Climatic oscillations recorded in fluvial and paralic sedimentation in the tropics during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (~330 – 260 Myr ago)
