Paleoceanography
Past ocean circulation, chemistry, and productivity from sediments and geochemical proxies.
A national network for paleoscience
Connecting early-career researchers across deep time.
PaleoECR India brings together researchers working across paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, paleogeography, paleoecology, paleobiology, paleoenvironment, and paleotectonics.

About PaleoECR India
A network built for exchange.
We share research updates, opportunities, and events while creating space for collaboration and discussion on methods, proxies, and datasets.
The network is coordinated by early-career researchers across institutions in India and abroad, with a shared interest in strengthening paleoscience communities.
What the network is for
Finding peers, sharing opportunities, discussing research, and making it easier for early-career researchers to connect across subfields and institutions.
Research landscape
Seven ways of reading the past.
Our members work across connected subfields that use geological, biological, geochemical, and environmental archives to understand Earth through time.
Paleoclimatology
Past climate variability reconstructed from ice cores, speleothems, tree rings, and isotopes.
Paleogeography
Continents, oceans, basins, and plate positions reconstructed through geological time.
Paleoecology
Past ecosystems and species–environment interactions from fossils, pollen, and sediments.
Paleobiology
Evolution, diversity, and ecological roles of ancient life through the fossil record.
Paleoenvironment
Ancient landscapes and depositional conditions reconstructed from sediment and proxy records.
Paleotectonics
Past plate movement, structural deformation, basin dynamics, and orogenic history.
Working committee
People who keep the network moving.
A distributed committee coordinates outreach, events, membership, documentation, and communication.
