Fabricio Caxito

I am a Professor of Geology at UFMG, Brazil, and a visiting Professor at Stanford University in 2022. The rocks that outcrop today act as recorders for ancient life, chemical, atmospheric and paleogeographic conditions. My main goal as a scientist is to try to read and interpret this record, mainly through geochemical tools. These tools provide the clues to reconstruct Earth’s paleogeography, paleochemistry, and life and how they are interconnected, and to understand the feedbacks between all of Earth’s cycles.
