The Stratigraphy and Paleontology Research group is an
interdisciplinary research group composed of stratigraphers, paleontologists,
geochemists, and structural geologists. We are currently working on a number of
projects both locally and throughout the world. We are actively working in: US,
China, Australia, and recently, Argentina. In addition to UB faculty, our
group loosely consists of researchers from SUNY Albany, SUNY Fredonia, Ohio
State University, University of Dayton, University of Rochester, and the Nanjing
Institute of Geology and Paleontology.
Our ongoing research focuses on five main
areas:
·
Testing the synchroneity of
Ordovician sequence and stratigraphic boundaries along the eastern Laurentian
margin.
·
Refining and the facies
relationships and interpreting the structural and biological evolution within
the Taconic Foredeep Basin, Mohawk
Valley.
·
Trilobite and Brachiopod
morphometrics and evolutionary studies
·
Evolution and biostratigraphy of
various Graptolite Groups: US, China, Australia
·
Biostratigraphic and
Bio-geographic correlation of the Precordillera of Argentina with cratonic North
America.
The presence of our research group is new on the Internet. We
are hoping that our presence here can provide three basic services:
1)
Introduction of our work and interests to prospective students
2)
A working data repository, including figures that are too large to be
published in today's journals
3)
An
introduction to the people within the Stratigraphy and Paleontology
Research Group
