The Department of Anthropology is pleased to host this free lecture by Dr. Brooke Crowley (PhD), a professor in the Department Geology and Anthropology and the Geology Graduate Director at the University of Cincinnati. She investigates ecological interactions among living and recently extinct animals (including humans) using stable isotope biogeochemistry. Her interests include niche partitioning, conservation biology and Quaternary paleoecology. She is particularly interested in the causes and consequences of recent extinctions, and the ecological repercussions of habitat fragmentation and degradation.
