Claudia Wrozyna

Prof. Dr. Claudia Wrozyna is the Professor of Paleontology at the University of Greifswald's School of Geography and Geology. Her academic career spans institutions including the University of Leipzig, Karl-Franzens University of Graz, and TU Braunschweig, where she earned her doctorate in Geoecology.

• Education: Geoecology (B.Sc., TU Braunschweig), Paleontology (Ph.D., TU Braunschweig, 2011)

Wrozyna specializes in ostracod studies, focusing on their ecological, taxonomic, and paleoclimatic significance. Her research integrates morphometric analysis, stable isotope geochemistry, and hydrochemical proxies to reconstruct past climates and aquatic environments.

Recent publications highlight her work on ostracod distribution patterns in saline lakes and tropical systems, climate change impacts on biogeography, and isotopic signatures for calcification modeling. She collaborates extensively on interdisciplinary projects involving lake-level changes and biogeochemical proxies.
