Sebastian Reimann

July 2019 until today

Doctoral thesis in the subject area of Geosciences (Ph.D.) at the Institute of Geosciences at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

Topic: "The role of early Archean terrestrial environments in weathering, sediment transport, and the colonisation of land"

March 2016 until June 2019

Study of Geosciences (M. Sc.) with specialisation in Sedimentology and Volcanology at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg

- In addition to extensive training in the fields of sedimentology and volcanology, the degree programme also includes subjects in geophysics (borehole geophysics) and biomineralogy, but also focuses on tectonics and geochronology

- M.Sc. thesis on "Sediment, age and structure analysis in the Archaean of the Barberton Greenstone Belt (South Africa)"
