Biodiversity origins
Simulating the co-evolution of planets and life
The biogeodynamics project aims to understand the complex co-evolution of Earth’s biosphere, climate and topography since the emergence of life by coupling models of the respective domains.
The planetary evolution project aims to reproduce the dynamic of living organisms in silico using a new generation of models that integrates spatially explicit dispersal with eco-evolutionary dynamics and speciation.
Co-evolution of planets and life
This project explores the interaction between Earth's physical conditions and life evolution, emphasizing the limitations of traditional approaches and the need for advanced numerical models. It aims to investigate how planetary dynamics and biological evolution co-evolve, focusing on feedback mechanisms between geodynamics, climate, surface processes, and photosynthetic life.
Summarizing ecology from simple to complex organisms
The project aims to use deep learning to model the ecological suitability of animal species by analyzing their morphological, ecological, and life-history traits, alongside climate data, to predict species distribution and interactions within ecosystems.
