Dominik Fleitmann is professor of Quaternary Geology at the University of Basel.[1] Fleitmann primarily researches
palaeoclimatology using
stalagmites collected from caves in the
Middle East and has also linked these records to societal impacts using archaeological and historical evidence.[2][3][4]
According to Fleitmann, his research into
stalagmites found in modern-day Saudi Arabia demonstrates a link between rainfall and human migration from the region, and a correlation between a period of severe drought and the collapse of the
Kingdom of Himyar.[5][6]
