The Micropalaeontology Foraminifera-Nannoplankton Group of the IGP represents an informal research group of individuals interested in micropalaeontology, palaeoceanography, and the marine palaeoenvironment and its evolution throughout the geological history. We closely cooperate with the goal to establish a research excellence within the fields of micropalaeontology and palaeoceanography at the Charles University; and to continue the tradition of professors Adalbert Liebus and Vladimír Pokorný, who both indelibly affected the history of micropalaeontology. The mission of our group is to contribute to the understanding of the global oceanic system and its evolution and dynamics throughout the geological past, thus advancing the knowledge about one of the most prominent Earth systems that shaped the world as we know it today.

Our research primarily covers micropalaeontology, with a focus on Foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton, evolutionary ecology, stratigraphy, palaeoenvironmental analysis, geochemistry and its application in palaeoceanography, and many others.

We are enthusiastically seeking cooperation with academia and industrial partners on interesting problems covering our research fields.
