Guillaume Dupont-Nivet is a professor at CNRS (France) and the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (Germany). His research bridges geodynamics with paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental evolution, focusing on Indo-Eurasian tectonics and its influences on Asian climate and ecosystems, and on African paleoenvironmental changes and prehistoric human evolution. Combining paleomagnetism, tectonic geology, sedimentology, and paleontology, he has produced pioneering reconstructions of the Eocene tectono-paleoenvironmental evolution of the Tibetan Plateau, Central Asia,and Southeast Asia, illuminating the coupling among tectonics, climate, and biotic evolution. He has published over 200 papers in leading international journals (>14,000 citations) and serves as Editor-in-Chief of Earth-Science Reviews.
