Welcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

We are the Micropalaeontology Group at the Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague. We combine micropalaeontology with isotope and elemental geochemistry to reconstruct how oceans, lakes and rivers have changed, from the Miocene to the present. The group is run by Filip Scheiner and Anna Tich\u00e1, with Prof. Katar\u00edna Holcov\u00e1 as senior mentor. Much of our isotope work is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and other partners.<\/p>\n<\/div>
