I use fossil plants to investigate ancient ecosystems, past environmental change, and the evolution and extinction of plants and plant-insect associations. I emphasize questions with relevance for modern climate change, biodiversity, biogeography, and ecological processes. Significant field areas include Patagonia, Western Interior USA, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Panama, and southeastern Pennsylvania.
