Research Interests

My research interests are to better understand such climatic perturbation over the middle Cretaceous period and their impact on the internal stratigraphy of the related sedimentary records. The achievement of this task will be based on the studying of the rocks of this geologic period cropping out around the Tethyan domain and the Arabian plate.
