Attività di Ricerca
svolta dal
laboratorio /
Research activities | - Study of calcareous nannofossils for biostratigraphy, paleoecological and paleoclimatic reconstructions
based on semi-quantitative, quantitative and morphometric analyses.
The analyses can be conducted on smear slides, settling slides and/or ultra-thin sections, as well as on
samples prepared with filters and splitter device.
Morphometric analyses are performed using digital images. - Study of foraminifera for biostratigraphy, paleoecological and paleoclimatic reconstructions on weighted and
unweighted washed residues, thin sections and via morphometric analyses on digital images.
