Isotopic geochemistry and paleoclimatology are essential scientific fields for understanding the history of the Earth and its climate. Our research focuses primarily on the analysis of stable and radiogenic isotopes to reconstruct past environmental conditions, date rocks, sediments, and fossils, and investigate biogeochemical cycles. We use a variety of natural archives, including ice cores, marine sediments, corals, and speleothems, to trace changes in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric composition through time. These studies also enable us to identify the drivers of natural climate variability and to better understand the interactions among the oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere.
The major objective of this research is to improve our understanding of present and future climate change, validate climate models, and assess environmental impacts across different temporal scales. These studies also contribute to understanding how ecosystems and human societies respond to environmental change, evaluating resilience mechanisms to climatic disturbances, and improving numerical climate models. The knowledge gained provides essential reference data for distinguishing natural climate variability from anthropogenic influences, anticipating future environmental changes, and developing adaptation strategies and sustainable natural resource management practices within the context of global change.
