Leila joins us from a postdoc at Texas State University. She is a functional morphologist who will be exploring how carnivoran jaw structures are distributed with respect to environmental conditions on the landscape. She will be working with the Conservation Paleobiology in Africa project to improve our understanding of trait-environment interactions, particularly in East...
Katherine just finished her master’s degree at Oklahoma State, and she will be joining SEPL to study adaptations to aridity in mammals. She plans to study how stable isotope geochemistry and morphology has shifted in the mammal communities at Natural Trap Cave. She also is interested in the implications of the presence of a...
Julia joins the lab this fall as a SoBS PhD student. She has previously studied small mammal community responses to past climate, as well as their ability to estimate past climatic conditions. She is interested in expanding the understanding of how fossil communities have responded to past climate events to help inform us about...
Danny comes to us through the Quantitative Biosciences Program here at GT. He is interested in the interface between data science/machine learning and ecology, and looks forward to applying these disciplines to his PhD research. Daniel received his B.S. in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2017....
SEPL warmly welcomes Ben Shipley (first year PhD student) and Sílvia Pineda-Muñoz (postdoctoral scholar). We are growing quickly, and these two are going to contribute such exciting research to our efforts! See more about them on our “SEPL People” page. Go Team SEPL!!...
Julie Meachen, Assistant Professor at DMU, visited SEPL over the last week to continue work on the Natural Trap Cave project. Julie, along with Dr. Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide, is the principal investigator on the grant that opened up Natural Trap Cave for research over the last 5 years. The original...
I’d like to offer a warm welcome to Rukumani Rimal, our new GIS Technician. Stop by 307 Cherry Emerson sometime to welcome her to the department, or stop by Fossil Wednesday to get to meet her!...
