Monika Doubrawa
I am currently a PhD researcher, studying benthic foraminifera of the latest Paleocene and PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum). Together with a group of researchers we work on unrevelling the environmental changes connected to this hyperthermal.

Monsoonal forcing of cold-water coral growth off southeastern Brazil during the past 160 kyr
Bahr, A., Doubrawa, M., Titschack, J., Austermann, G., Koutsodendris, A., Nürnberg, D., Albuquerque, A. L., Friedrich, O., and Raddatz, J.
Cold-water corals (CWCs) constitute important deep-water ecosystems that are under increasing environmental pressure due to ocean acidification and global warming. The sensitivity of these deep-water ecosystems to environmental change is demonstrated by abundant paleorecords drilled through CWC mounds that reveal characteristic alterations between rapid formation and dormant or erosive phases... -
Life in the fluvial hinterland of the late Sarmatian Sea (middle Miocene): a rare terrestrial fossil site in the Styrian Basin (Austria)
Doubrawa, M., Gross, M., Harzhauser, M.
This paper describes the section and fossil content of a former gravel pit in the Eastern Styrian Basin (SE Austria), which exposes sediments of a fluvial system, ranging from within channel to overbank environments. A predominately terrestrial gastropod fauna of 15 species so far, was recovered from a palaeosol formed in a moist and vegetated, floodplain or abandoned channel...
