Ice extent in time and space on the Taymyr Peninsula, Arctic Siberia

Knowledge about earlier climate changes and their effect on the physical environment is fundamental to our ability to understand and predict what the future holds for us.

The Chernokrebetnaya River traverse and the tectonic development of the Amerasian Basin

In 2010, our research team investigated the tectonomagmatic and sedimentary history of southeast Taymyr in the Chernokrebetnaya River region.

Using ancient DNA to study the impact of past climate change on Ice Age species

We did collect fossil material from Ice Age species for ancient DNA analysis, in order to examine how past changes in population size and genetic divergence relate to changes in climate.
