Our team comprises a broad and strong expertise for addressing important questions within environmental research, geochronology, archaeology, and ore geology with scientific outcome relevant for central eastern Europe and beyond.
Team members
The Team
Dr. Daniel VERES
Principal Investigator
Dr. Veres is a geologist and paleoclimatologist with specialization on disentangling past environmental change and human impact, tracing pat metal pollution and human impact, the reconstruction of the terrestrial response to millennial-scale climate variability, and tephrochronology.

Dr. Vasile ERSEK
Senior Researcher
​
Dr Ersek is a palaeoclimatologist and geochemist with expertise in past climate changes and human-environment interactions. His research is spanning cave and karst science, atmospheric processes, paleoclimatology/palaeoceanography, and peat geochemistry. His current research focuses on using geochemical methods in speleothems, water, and peat deposits to understand past changes in climate and environment.
