Project leaders
|
David
A.T. HARPER
Geological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark;
dharper@savik.geomus.ku.dk
David’s research interests include fossil brachiopods, history of
biodiversity, and computer-based methods for the analysis and modelling
of fossils and their distributions.
For the project, David leads the team that has to develop Ordovician
sea-level curves. But he is also the leader of the Baltoscandian
working group.

Jun
LI
Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, China; junli@nigpas.ac.cn
Jun is working mostly on Ordovician
palynomorphs.
He accepted to establish and coordinate the working group on
biostratigraphy and correlations, in cooperation with the chairmen of
the Ordovician (Chen Xu) and Silurian subcommission (Rong JiaYu).

Axel
MUNNECKE
Institut für Paläontologie, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen,
Germany; axel.munnecke@pal.uni-erlangen.de
Axel’s main research fields include diagenesis of carbonate rhythmites,
Palaeozoic micro- and nannofossils, stable isotopes and Silurian
climate.
Within the frame of IGCP 503, Axel accepted to be coordinator of a
working group on isotope geochemistry in the Lower Palaeozoic.

Alan
W. OWEN
Division of Earth Sciences, Centre for Geosciences, University of
Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. a.owen@earthsci.gla.ac.uk
Alan’s expertise encompasses trilobite palaeontology, biodiversity
change, palaeobiogeography, Caledonide terrane evolution, and
sedimentary geochemistry and stratigraphy.
Within Project 503, Alan has responsibility for the work on patterns of
biodiversity change and corresponding databases.

Thomas
SERVAIS
Laboratoire de Paléontologie et de Paléogéographie du Paléozoïque,
Université de Lille, Lille, France; thomas.servais@univ-lille1.fr
Thomas is a specialist on Lower Palaeozoic organic-walled
micro-phytoplankton.
As the chair of the project, Thomas is responsible for co-ordinating
project work of all other leaders and also is responsible
for communication with the IGCP headquarters and UNESCO.
But he also leads the working groups on palaeogeographical
reconstructions and climate modelling.

Peter
M. SHEEHAN
Department of Geology at the Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee, USA;
sheehan@mpm.edu
Peter’s research focus is on evolutionary patterns and paleoecology.
His main speciality is mid-Paleozoic brachiopods but also sequence
stratigraphy.
Peter will be the coordinator of a working group on palaeoecology
changes during the Lower Palaeozoic.
