معرفی
Dr. Stéphane Affolter is a Researcher at the University of Basel's Department of Environmental Sciences, affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy and Natural Sciences. His work focuses on water isotopes in the hydrological cycle and their application in paleoclimate reconstructions using speleothems.
Research Interests:
- Speleothem fluid inclusions as climate archives
- Laser spectroscopy for isotope analysis
- Global Meteoric Water Line (GMWL) studies
- Hydrological cycle and paleoclimate interactions
His methodological innovations in extracting and analyzing micrometric fluid inclusion water have advanced understanding of past precipitation patterns and environmental changes. Current projects include determining paleotemperatures and lapse rates in Central Europe using isotopic data.
Publications Trends: His recent articles emphasize speleothem-based paleoclimatic reconstructions, isotopic signatures in fluid inclusions, and interdisciplinary applications of laser spectroscopy. These works bridge climate science, geochemistry, and hydrology.
Laboratory Affiliation: Affolter works within the Fleitmann Research Group, contributing to empirical calibrations of climate proxies and applications in sedimentary records.
