This grant supports research in five key areas: 1) studying changes in life, ecology, and environments over geologic time using fossils; 2) examining the Earth's sedimentary layers to understand geological processes and resources within rock sequences; 3) developing methods for dating and measuring geological events and processes using the sedimentary and fossil record; 4) analyzing records of sediment production, movement, and deposition in both modern and ancient contexts; and 5) investiga… Show More

Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology supports studies of: (1) the changing aspects of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography in geologic time based on fossilorganisms; (2) all aspects of the Earth's sedimentary lithosphere – its insights into the geological processes and rich organic and … Show More
