Sektion

The main focus of the section is on

• the quantitative, semi-qualitative and qualitative reconstruction of selected palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental parameters (e.g. vegetation)
• the temporal and spatial dynamics of these parameters
• fire-ecology of fossil ecosystems

The different projects cover the time span from the Late Palaeozoic up to the Cenozoic.

Die Sektion betreut die ehemalige Sammlung des Geoarchivs Marburg.

Die Marburger Sammlung enthält Objekte aus den unterschiedlichsten Regionen dieser Welt. Von Hessen über Europa nach Asien oder auch Amerika und Nordafrika – aus allen Winkeln der Erde trugen Wissenschaftler der Marburger Universität die Stücke für ihre Arbeit und die Sammlung der Marburger Universität zusammen. Sie stammen aus den Erdzeitaltern vom Präkambrium bis ins Tertiär. Zwischen den fossilen Funden finden sich mitunter auch rezente Vergleichsstücke.

Der 2013 in das Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut nach Frankfurt überführte, größere Teil des GeoArchivs Marburg umfasst 125 Sammlungsschränke mit etwa 6.000 Schubladen. Darin befinden sich geschätzte 142.000 Einzelobjekte.
