Catherine Badgley
|
Professor Catherine Badgley is an assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. She studies the ecology of fossil mammals and has conducted paleontological field work in Pakistan, China, Kenya and the western United States. Her research also includes studies of modern mammal biogeography. A long-standing interest in the modern biodiversity crisis led her to study the impacts of agriculture on biodiversity and then to evaluate alternative scenarios to the current food system. She is the immediate Past President of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, an international scientific organization.
