由两个湖北省重点级实验室组建而成
Research orientations according to time scale
(1)Coevolution between life and environment in critical geological transitions (Precambrian/Cambrian, Permian-Triassic boundary)
(2)Ecological response and feedback of climatic and environmental events since Cenozoic (cave sediments, peatland deposits and lacustrine sediments)
(3)Eco-environmental effect of anthropogenic activities in modern days (biogeochemical process of groundwater and rock-water-organism interactions)
