Greetings from Uruguay! I collect samples in different beaches from the Río de la Plata Estuary and the Atlantic Uruguayan coasts. I am interested in comparing the molluscan species and the taphonomic signatures recorded in different kinds of environmental and depositional settings.
The Conservation Paleobiology Network is organized into groups of people who share responsibilities for organizing, developing, and advising various components of the network. The core group overseeing the network development is the Planning Team, which includes the Steering Committee (nine members, including the Principal Investigator, Coordinator, and Student Representative) and the Advisory Group. The Planning Team assists in development and oversight of the CPN Panels.
My research focuses on understanding landscape changes and drivers of change on the Bass Strait islands, southeast Australia, using sedimentary fossil pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs and charcoal records. Specifically, I am interested in understanding pattern and timing of indigenous land-use change, as well as changes in vegetation and fire regime in the area during the Holocene.
