Research Lines

Our research focuses on the study of patterns, rates and mechanisms of past vegetation and climate change during the Quaternary (the last 2.6 million years). To achieve this objective, we study the remains of charcoal and fossil plants, the sediments in which they are found and the spatial context in which the study sites are located. This approach allows us to examine past changes on multiple time scales ranging from decades to tens of thousands of years, with the aim of understanding current biogeographic patterns and paleoenvironmental evolution throughout Andean Patagonia.
