Research summary
AI-generated

Arndt Schimmelmann studies the chemistry of natural materials to reconstruct past environments and climate. Much of the work uses stable isotopes (variants of elements like carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen) and organic molecules preserved in lake and ocean sediments, fossils, and rocks to reveal histories of wildfires, droughts, and ancient life. The research also includes developing reference materials and standards that ensure isotope measurements are accurate and comparable across laboratories.
