Supervising Interests:
Research students that I have supervised in the last few years have completed studies in the areas of molluscan and foraminiferal evolution and biodiversity based on fossil and molecular data (the latter with collaborators at Massey University), future extinction risks in marine shellfish as estimated using the fossil record, the effects of the asteroid impact and associated end-Cretaceous mass extinction 66 million years ago, and the development of Zealandia (the continent surrounding New Zealand) during the Cretaceous Period (145 - 66 million years ago).
