| 5/23/08 Maguire sucessfully defends MS thesis! and submits paper |
|
I am always seeking motivated students, both undergraduates and potential graduate students, to join our research group. Research projects are available in GIS-based paleobiogeography, phylogenetic systematics of brachiopods, and taphonomy and evolution of crustacean taxa. PDF with more info here. Interested students should contact me directly at Graduate funding through Teaching Assistantships is available through the Department of Geological Sciences. More info. |

| Kaitlin Maguire sucessfully defended her master's thesis and completed all the requirement for her MS degree. Her defense was outstanding and her thesis committee wished they could have awarded a higher level than pass. Following her defense, Kaitlin submitted the second half of her thesis to Paleobiology. We wish Kaitlin all the best in her future PhD work at UC Berkeley. We are really going to miss her! | ||||
| 4/25/08 Stigall Lab visits Cincinnati Museum Center and Dry Dredgers Meeting | ||||
| The Cincinnati biogeography research team (Alycia, Brad, Nikki, and Rob) spent a very productive day in Cincinnati working in the collections of the Cincinnati Museum Center then Dr. Stigall presented a lecture for the Cincinnati Dry Dredgers amateur paleontology association about Devonian invasive species and enlisted the association's help with the Cincinnati project. You can learn more about our visit to the CMC here or the Dry Dredgers here. | ||||
| 4/17/08 Walls earns Paleontological Society Student Research Grant | ||||
| Brad Walls has been awarded the 2008 Boucot Student Research Award in support of his master's thesis work on Cincinnatian brachiopods and stratigraphy. Congratulations! | ||||
| 4/10/08 Stigall awarded PRF Grant to fund Cincinnatian project | ||||
| The Petroleum Research Fund has funded a a proposal to Alycia Stigall to support the use of environmental niche modeling to study the effect of species invasions during the Late Ordovician Richmondian Invasion in the Cincinnati Arch region. This two year grant will support field work and stipends for graduate and undergraduate students working on the project | ||||
| 4/07/08 Dudei, Swisher, and Walls awarded GSA Student Grants-in-Aid Awards | ||||
| Nikki Dudei, Rob Swisher, and Brad Walls each sucessfully earned GSA grants to conduct field work for their MS projects on biogegoraphy of Cincinnatian brachiopods. Congratulations to each of them for their hard work and excellent proposals. | ||||

| 10/30/07 Maguire meeting presentation and paper submission | ||||
| Congratulations to Kaitlin Maguire who presented an excellent oral presentation at the Annual GSA Meeting in Denver and submitted her first manuscript based on her MS research on Neogene horse biogeography to an international journal, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology , this month. | ||||
| 9/15/07 Welcome new lab members! | ||||
| New graduate students, Nikki Dudei, Rob Swisher, and Brad Walls, and new undergraduate, Jackie Smith, have joined the lab this fall. They will each be working on aspects analyzing the biogeographic patterns of Cincinnatian fossils across the "Richmondian invasion" interval. See more about our new students here. | ||||
