Antje is Professor of Geology and Geosystems and founded the institute of Geosystems and Bioindication (IGeo), working at the interface of geo- and biosciences. Her team uses remains from aquatic organisms from lake and estuarine sediments and geochemical proxies to monitor the response of the aquatic system and water quality to climate change and human impact. Most important areas of research currently are the Tibetan Plateau, Central America and Central Europe.

Sudhir is a postdoc at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He is a paleoclimatologist, working on the reconstruction of the Indian monsoon and associated changes in the Indian Ocean during the Quaternary. His research uses micropaleontology and trace element and isotope geochemistry in biogenic carbonates as proxies.
