About the UGA Stratigraphy Lab
Research in the Stratigraphy Lab focuses on the integration of sequence stratigraphy and paleobiology. We use a combination of field work, computer modeling, and multivariate statistics in our work. Our current focus is on the stratigraphic paleobiology of nonmarine systems. Some of our recent field areas have focused on mammals in Neogene extensional basins of Nevada, plants in the Pennsylvanian Breathitt Group of Kentucky, and vertebrates in the Triassic Chugwater Formation of Wyoming, the Cretaceous Cloverly Formation of Wyoming, the Cretaceous Judith River Formation of Montana, and the Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota. These projects center around three main topics:
- •Sequence-stratigraphic distribution of fossils
- •Influence of sequence architecture on the interpretation of the fossil record
- •Building sequence-stratigraphic frameworks for paleobiological studies
I am not presently accepting new graduate students or postdoctoral associates.
