dr. Timme Donders, Assistant Professor Palaeoecology
In a new paper in Biogeosciences (2016), we present the first half of the spectacular stratigraphic record from Lake Ohrid, in the republic of Macedonia. In a unique collaboration, more than 10 palynologists from Italy, Greece, France and Germany and the Netherlands worked together to provide a detailed past vegetation record of the past 500 thousand years, showing the glacial-interglacial dynamics of a forest refuge and biodiversity hot-spot. The work is part of the interdisciplinary SCOPSCO project.
