Anthony Barnosky is a faculty member in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. His research revolves around understanding how changes in the physical environment (such as climate change and mountain building) contribute to the evolution of mammal species and faunas at varying temporal and geographic scales. Field aspects of his work include collecting fossils from long stratigraphic sequences that can be well-dated by biostratigraphic, paleomagnetic, or radioisotopic techniques. Lab analysis utilizes computerized imaging and GIS systems to identify population-level morphological variation through space and time; the morphological patterns are then compared with independently identified changes in the physical environment to test various evolutionary and biogeographic predictions.
Christopher Bell is a faculty member in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas, Austin. He works primarily on the systematics and osteology of fossil and modern herptiles, and Quarternary Paleobiology.
Christopher Conroy, a past post-doc from the Hadly Labs, is a curator at the Museum of Vertebrare Zoology at U.C. Berkeley. Chris works on the molecular systematics and phylogeography of arvicoline rodents.
Eileen Lacey is a faculty member in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley.
Brian Maurer is a faculty member in the Departments of Fisheries and Wildlife and Geography at Michigan State University. His research interests include wildlife ecology, biogeography and macroecology, and quantitative ecology.
Joanna Mountain is the Senior Director of Research at 23andMe. Her areas of interest include: the origins of modern humans; comparisons of genetic and linguistic variation among human populations; ethical issues regarding human genetics; phenotype and the interactions among genotype, environment, and culture; biology and concepts of race; the extent to which genetic data can reveal details of human history; the origins of and relationships among the peoples of East Africa; and the development of statistical tools for analyzing a variety of human population genetic data.
Adina Paytan, Department of Geology, University of California, Santa Cruz. Her areas of interest include paleoceanography, marine chemistry, biogeochemistry, environmental chemistry, and global change.
