中村英人 | Hideto Nakamura, Ph. D.

I am an organic geochemist interested in decoding molecular signals in sediments to understand the source and geological fate of lipid biomarkers (molecular fossils) and use them to study interactions involving organisms and its environment through the earth's history. Research topics include the development of molecular proxies for paleoclimatology and biogeochemistry, multi-biomarker approaches on the reconstruction of marine and terrestrial environments from Mesozoic to the present.
