THE ROSAE PROJECT
ROSAE is a scientific project aiming to study organism-sediment relationships in extreme environments – from the deep sea to eventual ecosystems beyond Earth. To this aim, special emphasis is placed on the products of the interactions between organisms and sediments: burrows and bioturbated textures. Both modern and fossil habitats will be explored…

Burrows 90%

METHODS
how to study extreme environments?
Earth Sciences
Life Sciences
We will apply the methods of ichnology – the scientific discipline dealing with traces – to study extreme environments. This discipline studies traces such as burrows, borings and footprints and as such it is at the interface between Earth and Life Sciences. Traces can provide significant insight on how organisms behave in extreme environments!
PROJECT OUTCOMES
scientific papers, abstracts... and more!
