Paleobiology Faculty

We focus on understanding the nature and interplay of the evolutionary, ecological, and physical environmental forces that have shaped the history of life on geological timescales.

Within OEB, we address many aspects of paleobiology, covering all major groups of life, from the deep Precambrian to our own geologically recent past. We employ a wide range of tools, including primary field-work, functional morphology, phylogenetics, isotopic analysis, and theoretical approaches.
