We studied the Permian–Triassic successions of south-western Türkiye at five locations, synthesised sedimentological and palaeontological data, putting it into a consistent stratigraphic framework an...

The end-Permian extinction 252 million years ago wiped out over 80 per cent of marine species, but many ecosystems still had complex food webs despite the losses

The past two months have been a whirlwind of vivas and celebrations. I could not be prouder to share that Amy Shipley, Lydia Woods, Charlotte Clay and Kate Simpson have all passed their PhD vivas w…

npj Biodiversity - The timing and nature of marine ecosystem recovery following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction

DeepBio@Leeds PGRs Amy Shipley and Lydia have published a review on the sixth mass extinction, as part of a working group on Cenozoic extinctions led out of the Anthropocene Biodiversity Centre at …

DeepBio@Leeds PhD student Kate Simpson tells us how her research brings together palaeontology and poetry to conceptualise mass extinction and geological timescales.

Ecosystem recovery following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction. Lecture given by Annabel Nichols, University of Leeds School of Earth and Environment. The Permo-Triassic mass extinction (PTME ~252Ma)...

Poetry and palaeontology both work with strata.

Using your results, you will be able to test assumptions and make predictions about iron-mediated impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump.

The group have just returned from an excellent 68th Annual Meeting of the Palaeontological Association in Erlangen, Germany, with Baran Karapunar, Amy Shipley, Lydia Woods, Kate Simpson, Euan Malpa…
