Stefan Schroeder

Stefan Schroeder is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Manchester. His research focuses on carbonate sedimentology, diagenesis, and geodynamic evolution of continental rifts, with a particular interest in Precambrian environmental conditions and Paleoclimatology. He previously held postdoctoral roles at MIT and the University of Johannesburg, and worked in industry at Total SA. His current projects explore the geodynamic context of Atlantic rifts, Archean-Paleoproterozoic environmental transitions, and microbial carbonates for waste remediation. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to education and environmental sustainability.

• PhD Projects: Includes studies on volcanic fluid flow, fluid-rock interaction in rifts, SW Africa continental margin analysis, and climate signals in Roman aqueducts.

Research Interests: Combines field, subsurface, and lab data to study depositional systems and paleoclimates. Key areas include continental rift evolution, Precambrian carbonates, and Paleogene climate dynamics.

Recent Articles: Focus on Moroccan Atlantic Margin stratigraphy, coral buildups, tufa mound characterization, Jurassic dolomitization, and Cretaceous clastic systems. These studies highlight interdisciplinary approaches using petrophysical and geochemical methods.

Grants & Advising: Accepting self-funded PhD students for projects in his research areas. Collaborates internationally on sedimentary and tectonic studies.

Labs/Teams: Involved in the 'Basins, Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Processes' project, focusing on North African and global reservoir systems.
