Next week I will be presenting some exciting work that combines palynology, geochemistry, and clay mineralogy at the 12th quadrennial European Palaeobotany and Palynology Conference in Münster, Germany.
Presentation slide showing the title of the talk, the authors, affiliations, and three images. The first image is of an outcrop with red rocks belonging to the Bald Hill Claystone Formation, found in Long Reef, Sydney, Australia. The second image shows a sample retrieved from the same formation from a core named Bunnerong-1. The third image is one pollen grain of Alisporites australis found in the retrieved sample.

I have just published the first paper of my PhD. If you are keen about ancient climates and how plants fared extreme events, please read about it in our piece for @theconversation.com!

A week ago I had the chance to present one facet of the fractal that are Earth Sciences at the 10th anniversary of iCRAG. I was happy to share (on stage and in poster format) the power that interdisciplinary has in complementing findings. 🔬🪨 (1/3)
