Research

Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and evolution (stratigraphy and sedimentology), aiming to visualize the ancient landscapes and settle vertebrate faunas in their habitats. Special interest in the tetrapod ichnological record and the faunal evolution through the Palaeozoic–Mesozoic transition.
