معرفی
Fara Emmanuel is a Full-time Professor of Palaeontology at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France. He leads research in the Laboratoire Biogéosciences (UMR CNRS/uB/EPHE 6282), focusing on macroevolutionary and macroecological processes shaping biodiversity over geological timescales. His work integrates fossil record analysis, environmental responses, and phylogenetic studies. He holds an HDR (2011) and a PhD in Palaeobiology from the University of Bristol (2001).
Research interests include biodiversity dynamics, fossil record quality assessments, and palaeoenvironmental interactions across Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata. Key models include ammonites, vertebrates, and modern land snails. His fieldwork spans Brazil, the USA, Gabon, and France, with a focus on ichnology (dinosaur tracks) and malacological conservation in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Over 150 peer-reviewed articles highlight his contributions to understanding mass extinctions (e.g., Permian-Triassic), Triassic marine recoveries, and Jurassic-Cretaceous vertebrate communities. He collaborates internationally on projects like the Paris Biota (Idaho) and Monts d’Ardèche UNESCO Geopark inventory. Recent work explores digital twin technologies for geological heritage preservation (e-COL+ project).
