(GI-SERCC)
Research Group on the Sedimentary Record of Climate Changes
Code: 131300
Scientific Vice Direction
Summary
RESCLIM was created in noviember 2021 with the aim of integrating reserachers of the CN IGME working in the study of past climate change through the impact they leave in the sedimentary record. SERCC is composed by researchers and includes scientific staff as well as technicians and predoctoral students. The group has a stable publication record (> 15 SCI papers per year) and leads several research and transfer projects that represent a steady income of external funding (0.85 M€ in active projects at the moment).
Working areas
- Iberian Peninsula,
- Its surroundings (north Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean basin and north Africa) and other areas of special interest (e.g. Antarctica).
Research and technical lines
Paleoclimatic studies basen on sediments and sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Mesozoic to Holocene, as well as other studies related with the sedimentary record such as the caracterization of the geological storage capacity of carbonatic and detrital rocks and the origin of organogenic rocks.
Competences and abilities
Members of SERCC have a solid and contrasted expertise in the multidisciplinary study of past climate change, which is based on the application of a variety of dating tools (radiocarbon dating, isotopic stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy) and the development of proxies that provide a complementary view on the impact that climate change has had in the sedimentary record and associated ecosystems (stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, mineralogy, paleontology, environmental magnetism).
Outreach activities
Researchers at SERCC are regularly engaged in outreach activities such as organizing Geolodías and other visited geological tours, aparition in media, delivery of popular science talks, realization of videos and edition of geological guides, among others.
Training activities
Members of SERCC participate regularly in the training activities, which include teaching in different universities at grade and masters level as well as the supervision of doctoral and master thesis and the tutorization of research contracts.
