Bio/Research

I am a paleobiologist interested in documenting and interpreting large-scale patterns in the history of life.

Current research focuses on biogeography, evolutionary paleoecology, and macroevolution. For example: How does the spatial and environmental distribution of species and genera affect extinction risk? Which factors govern temporal variation in geographic ranges of taxa on geological time scales? Why do rates of origination and extinction vary among different environmental settings?
