Anna Lene Claussen

Anna Lene Claussen is a Researcher at the Chair of Paleoenvironment within the GeoZentrum Nordbayern, part of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. Her work focuses on Silurian paleoenvironments, bryozoan taxonomy, and the interplay between climate change and biodiversity dynamics. She is based at Loewenichstrasse 28, Erlangen, and holds an M.Sc. degree.

Her research interests include:

• Taxonomy of Silurian bryozoans
• Diversity changes linked to climate fluctuations
• Bryolites from Gotland
• Paleoenvironmental reconstruction through facies analysis
• Global carbon cycle perturbations
• Comparative studies of modern and ancient stromatolite systems

Recent publications highlight her expertise in Silurian climatic impacts on benthic communities, Pennsylvanian bryozoan diversity, and bryolith reef systems. Her work bridges modern analogues with ancient paleoenvironments to address climate-related geological questions.
