    Paläobotanik

    Wissenschaftlicher Werdegang

    Thomas Litt studierte Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Geologie und Botanik an der Martin-Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Vor und nach der Promotion 1987 im Fach Quartärgeologie an der Universität Greifswald war er am Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte in Halle tätig. Von 1990 bis 1993 arbeitete er als Habilitationsstipendiat am Institut für Geologische Wissenschaften der Universität Halle sowie bis 1994 als wissenschaftlicher Oberassistent am Institut für Geophysik und Geologie der Universität Leipzig. 1993 erhielt er den Credner-Preis der Deutschen Geologischen Gesellschaft. Nach Abschluss der Habilitation im Fach Allgemeine Geologie nahm er 1994 einen Ruf auf eine Professur für Paläobotanik an der Universität Bonn an.

    Als Geowissenschaftler mit paläontologischem Schwerpunkt beschäftigt sich Litt mit Fragen der Wechselbeziehung zwischen Geosphäre und Biosphäre in der jüngeren Erdgeschichte. Hierbei nutzt er vor allem durch Bohrungen gewonnene Seesedimente als Archive für die Paläoökologie und Paläoklimatologie. In den letzten Jahren lag der Fokus seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auf der Untersuchung langer kontinentaler Sedimentfolgen aus tiefen Seen im Nahen und Mittleren Osten, welche die Vegetations- und Klimageschichte der letzten Jahrhunderttausende lückenlos erfassen. Er leitete ein multidisziplinäres wissenschaftliches Bohrprogramm in der Türkei (Lake Van Drilling Project PALEOVAN) mit Unterstützung des „International Continental Scientific Drilling Program“ (ICDP). An komplementären Forschungen im Toten Meer in Israel war er ebenfalls beteiligt (ICDP Dead Sea Deep Drilling Project). Diese Paläoklimaarchive wurden im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs 806 „Unser Weg nach Europa: Kultur-Umwelt Interaktion und menschliche Mobilität im späten Quartär“, dessen stellvertretender Sprecher Litt war, detailliert untersucht. 2015 erhielt er eine Lady Davis Fellowship verbunden mit einer mehrmonatigen Gastprofessur an der Hebräischen Universität von Jerusalem. Seit 2020 ist er ordentliches Mitglied der Nordrhein-Westfälischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Künste sowie seit 2023 Mitglied der DFG-Forschungsgruppe 5438 „Der urbane Einfluss auf dem Mongolischen Plateau: Verflechtungen von Stadtwesen, Wirtschaft und Umwelt“.
