Current Research

Currently, my field interests focus on the recovery of Mesozoic and Cenozoic vertebrates from Canada's Arctic. One project involves excavation of the Beaver Pond locality, a Pliocene deposit preserved on Ellesmere Island. Evidence from this deposit offers insights into the appearance of high-latitude terrestrial communities prior to the Ice Age, and will help answer questions related to the role of high latitudes habitats in the dispersal and evolution of floral and faunal lineages.
