Thesis Title: Carnian Pluvial Episode in Iran region (Turan Plate and Iran Plate) and western Tethys domain
Supervisors: Prof. Piero Gianolla, Dr. Guido Roghi

My research focuses on paleoclimatological and paleoecological reconstructions in geological timescale. My work brings together palynology, organic and inorganic geochemistry, and stratigraphy. This multidisciplinary approach provides a tool to study paleoclimatological/paleoecological conditions and explore the interaction between the biosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere in deep time. I am interested in the interactions among volcanism, climate, and terrestrial ecosystems while my recent research focused on the Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE). In more detail, I study the Late Triassic CPE in Tethys Realm using multiproxy paleoclimate data and the analysis of palynological and vegetation records from the Upper Triassic strata. Geographically, my research has mainly done on Southern Apls, NE of Iran (Kopeh-dagh) and Persian Gulf basin.
