Jüergen Schieber studies fine-grained sedimentary rocks (mudstones and shales) to reconstruct ancient environments on both Earth and Mars. Work spans understanding how these deposits form, what they reveal about past climates and water conditions, and includes analysis of Martian rock layers observed by the Curiosity rover in Gale crater. This bridges Earth-based sedimentology with planetary exploration.
