BIOGRAPHY:

Bärbel Hönisch is a Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and specializes in Paleoceanography. Her primary research interests are the linkages between atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate in the past, including the validation and application of paleoproxies in marine archives.

VIDEO

Bärbel Hönisch reconstructs past Earth environments over geological time using a number of tell-tale signatures in the geological record. Here she explains how past environmental information can be teased from ocean sediments.
