Palaeoecology | Macroevolution | Extinction 

I am a palaeobiologist specializing in the study of macroecology and macroevolution, with a specific interest in how palaeontological, geological and biological data can be used to address questions in palaeoecology and macroevolutionary dynamics. My research covers a broad range of organisms, environments and time periods, and incorporates such areas as investigating how shifts in community structure can help elucidate macroecological processes, determining the drivers of speciation and extinction events and reconstructing historical trends of environmental change in estuarine and nearshore systems. I am particularly enthusiastic about projects where projects from multiple fields can be combined to investigate novel hypotheses and/or where our understanding of the natural world is increased by focusing on phenomena at several hierarchical scales.
