About
In a broad sense, my research focuses on the evolution of Paleogene mammals and the correlation and potential impacts of past climate change on their origin, extinction, and biogeography. My research is field- and museum collections-based, and as a complement to paleontology, my research toolbox also includes stratigraphy and stable isotope geochemistry. My dissertation research concentrated on (1) mammalian faunal change across the Paleocene–Eocene boundary; (2) changes in mammalian biogeography that are coincident with climate change at the PETM; and (3) potential roles that climate plays in the diversification and extinction of mammals. Most of my field research to date has been in northeast Utah, northwest Colorado and southwest Wyoming.
I'm an Assistant Professor at Utah State University's Vernal Campus, located in Northeastern Utah.
Beside discovering new fossils, I also enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, and 4X4 on the back-roads of the tristate area of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming
