MAIN RESEARCH AREAS

• Geomicrobiological aspects of carbonate and siliceous sediments formation in ancient marine environments 

• Biominerals and mineral skeletons as paleophysiological and paleoecological indicators 

• Reconstruction of selected Phanerozoic and Precambrian paleoenvironments based on paleontological and sedimentological record
