Dr. Anton Oleinik
Associate Professor Phone: 561-297-3297 |
About:
Ph.D. in Geology (Purdue University) 1998
Research Interests: Paleontology, Stratigraphy, Cenozoic Mollusks |
Research centers on critical intervals in the Cenozoic history, such as the Eocene-Oligocene transition from the Greenhouse to the Icehouse world, Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum, and the first opening of the Bering Strait. These changes produced a series of profound changes in the high-latitude biota, including pulses of diversification and extinction
Current research is primarily focused on the biodiversity, paleogeography, and isotopic record of paleoclimates in the poorly studied areas of the northern Pacific
(Alaska and Kamchatka).
Teaching:
