Nicolas Rudolph Thibault

Short presentation

I am a micropaleontologist and stratigrapher. My main interests are: (1) Precise dating, large-scale correlations and improvement of the Geologic Time Scale, (2) Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironments, (3) Evolution of marine life. As a micropaleontologist, I am specialized in calcareous nannofossils. As a stratigrapher, I am specialized in orbital climate change and carbon-isotope stratigraphy. My focus intervals are primarily the Cretaceous, Early Jurassic, late Triassic, late Eocene and Early Paleozoic of Baltoscandia.
