Its main objective is to use sedimentary rocks (carbonates, clays, shales) to reconstruct past seawater chemistry and the Earth\u2019s biogeochemical cycles, particularly during periods of rapid climate change. For this purpose, we analyse not only sediments but also modern analogues such as rivers and soils. The group also investigates the artificial acceleration of natural biogeochemical cycles to remove CO2<\/sub> from the atmosphere more quickly. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
