Maria Rose Petrizzo

Research Interests

• Cretaceous planktonic foraminifera taxonomy, biostratigraphy and biozonation.
• Evolutionary trends in Cretaceous and Paleogene planktonic foraminifera and biological response to short and long term paleoceanographic changes.
• Foraminiferal stable isotope paleoecology and species depth ranking during the Cretaceous.
• Reconstruction of Cretaceous ocean paleotemperature through stable isotopes on foraminifera to document the global climatic warming and cooling transitions from low to southern high latitudes.
• Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs).
