France Champenois is currently a PhD researcher at the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Australia. She commenced her doctoral degree following a Master of Science in Geology, focusing on Geodynamics and Geofluids from KU Leuven (Belgium), and a Master in Petroleum Geosciences from IFP School (France). Her PhD research examines the environmental significance of microbial communities in the construction of Cryogenian and Late Devonian carbonate reef complexes in Australian basins. Specifically, her work involves multi-scale characterization of microbial contributions to reef complex development, elucidating the spatial and temporal distribution of calcimicrobes and microbialites, while also investigating the paleoecological factors that influence microbial forms. Champenois aims to provide a novel multiscale approach to studying paleoecological relationships between microbial communities and their environments, as well as to explore the potential for microbially-induced mineralization and the preservation of microbial textures as relics with implications for studies on Earth’s early life and strategies for searching extraterrestrial life.
