It explores the different scenarios for the India-Asia collision, which is particularly important to understand Africa-Eurasia dispersal pathways.
A short highlight on some of our paleontologist & field collaborators in Turkey!

Shot in an Eocene coal mine full of endemic fossils from #Balkanatolia. Many discoveries to come soon from this site.
Interested in joining our team to study past mammalian dispersals? We just opened a new postdoctoral position in climate modeling to work with me and Yannick Donnadieu at @climatecerege.bsky.social. All the info here:
