Available B.Sc. and M.Sc. Theses  (Contact Person: Prof. Gugliotta)

  • Outcrop- and core-based sedimentology of Lower Permian fluvial deposits of the Halle Formation (for B.Sc. students).
  • Grain-size analysis and sedimentological core logging of tidal-flat sediments from cores from the Wadden Sea (for B.Sc. students).
  • Mapping the distribution of plastics on the beach of northeastern Sicily using drone imagery and machine learning and linking it to sedimentological processes (for B.Sc. students).
  • Sedimentary petrography on samples from the Paleoarchean Moodies Group, South Africa (for B.Sc. or M.Sc. students).
  • Petrography and microXRF analysis of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate rocks of the Lower Cretaceous, Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin, Argentina (for B.Sc. or M.Sc. students).
  • Sedimentology and 3D outcrop modeling of Lower Pleistocene sub-marine canyon deposits (fieldwork in southern Italy, for M.Sc. students)

  • Late Miocene gazelles (Bovidae, Antilopini) from Maragheh (Northwestern Iran): taxonomy and palaeobiogeography. (Contact Person: Dr. Rozzi)
  • A reappraisal of the biochronology of the Eocene Geiseltal Konservat-Lagerstätte (Germany). (Contact Person: Dr. Rozzi)
