Education
Ph.D. in Geology (Purdue University)
1998
MS in Geology (Moscow State University)
1986
BS in Paleontology 1985
Research Interests
Cenozoic stratigraphy, molluscan
paleontology, paleobiogeography and
paleoclimates of high-latitude
regions
Research centers on critical
intervals in the Cenozoic history,
such as the Eocene-Oligocene
transition from the Greenhouse to
the Icehouse world, Middle Miocene
Climatic Optimum, and the first
opening of the Bering Strait. These
changes produced a series of
profound changes in the
high-latitude biota, including
pulses of diversification and
extinction
Current research is primarily
focused on the biodiversity,
paleogeography, and isotopic record
of paleoclimates in the poorly
studied areas of the northern
Pacific (Alaska and Kamchatka).
