Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱<p>Many people think the history of the Earth is hard to decipher. The geological record jumbles everything up. We set out to fact-check this in my ERC Starting Grant MindTheGap. Focusing on the mode of evolution, because that is something that we can only glean from long records, longer than anything accessible to observation or experimentation today.</p><p>Thanks to collaboration with Peter Burgess we used forward models to simulate formation of carbonate rocks and see how completeness and stratigraphic resolution affect the reconstructions. Guess what! The geological record is 👌🏻 With a bit of understanding of <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/sedimentology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sedimentology</span></a> and <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> we can test is with computer experiments and it turns out even very patchy rock strata will let us reconstruct the correct mode of evolution.
