Investigating paleoecology and paleoenvironments one fossil at a time.

[Christina Belanger, Ph.D @BelaForamLab]

New Paper for #foramfriday: CT scans let us measure individual chambers and watch forams grow as environments change. The 5 species studied here are larger when oxygen is low because they only care about food. https://t.co/jqzyFj1KI4

A @TAMU_Ocean-led team has created the first global map of seafloor biodiversity activity by using machine learning to map a picture of animals' activities & the conditions that drive their efforts to shape ecosystem health in our oceans. https://t.co/7tbisWNgDf

A pyritized benthic foraminifera! Pyrite has begun to crystalize in the area that once held living tissue. More cool things are coming from the core! #Exp395 #IODP

So proud of this journey @DrKieronPrince and are on!

Have you checked out the June episode of @geotrippodcast yet?

For June, we discuss forams with @foramsraqu sprinkled with snippets of Kieron's dad jokes and me fan Girling

My first research paper with Team Bivalve! Despite their Cambrian origin, the bivalves took their time to invent new modes of life. Incredibly grateful for the guidance from @spissatella, @NCrouch89, Stewart Edie & Dave Jablonski. Excited for more work with the amazing team!

Two of the first paleoecology books I bought before grad school were by Jim Valentine. Also had the privilege of working with him during my post doc on the factors controlling marine biogeography. He was a huge influence on how I view the oceans and their biota. 🐚🌊

[UC Berkeley @UCBerkeley]

James Valentine, paleontologist who grappled with the origin of animal diversity, has died at 96

Applications for the summers school are due May 28 and we can only accommodate students that reside in the US. @CushmanFdn @MicropalaeoSoc

[Christina Belanger, Ph.D @BelaForamLab]

🚩Please pass to interested undergraduates. @TAMU_GeoGeo is offering a one-week summer school for undergraduates to conduct research in the department. I’ll be accepting students interested in marine micropaleontology and we’ll be working with foram faunas. Link ⬇️

[Christina Belanger, Ph.D @BelaForamLab]

In addition to Marine Micropaleontology, the summer school also features:
Trace element geochemistry
Mineral Physics
Experimental Rock Deformation
