Current Project:
Red Sea Paleoenvironmental Evolution under Monsoon fluctuations in the Pleistocene to Holocene (REPLENISH)
The Red Sea, situated within the Saharo-Arabian desert belt, is critical for palaeoclimatic and palaeoanthropological research. However, its marine realm and climate archives remain understudied.
This project aims to investigate:
- Recording of Pleistocene humidity-aridity phases in marine sediments
- Impact of these phases on shallow- and deep-water carbonate systems off W Saudi Arabia
- Identification of unique warm-water (>20°C) high-salinity deep-sea coral assemblages
Expected outcomes will enhance understanding of Pleistocene climate evolution, sea-level changes, and their impact on carbonate development, contributing to future climate predictions.
