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…

how to study extreme environments?
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!
