About:
Ph.D. Geology (Purdue University) 1998
Research Interests: Paleontology, Stratigraphy, Mollusks, Invertebrate Ecology and Paleoecology, Sedimentary geology, with emphasis on shallow water environment and habitats. |
The Paleontology and Stratigraphy at FAU Department of Geosciences is dedicated to studies of paleoclimate, paleobiology, and ancient depositional environments, based on the sediment record and fossil archives. Our main goal is to understand changes in Earth’s past climate, evolution of life, and biodiversity in order to be able to predict and model future changes. We employ methods from broad fields of stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, paleoecology and geochemistry. Our major focus is in the paleoenvironmental records of marine organisms with mineralized skeletons Research ranges from documenting critical biotic events in the Cenozoic from high latitude to comparative studies of modern and Holocene coral reefs and associated biota in the western Atlantic.
