Stratigraphic Paleobiologist Learn More As a paleobiologist, I am interested in understanding the interplay of abiotic and biotic factors in shaping the history of marine life. I seek to reconstruct the habitats and environmental conditions in which ancient organisms lived in. I apply sequence stratigraphic principles and ecological theory at the local and regional scale using a field-based approach. I also work with large fossil databases. Databases, such as the Paleobiology Database, allow us to assess underlying drivers of macroevolutionary patterns at the global scale.
