Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clayton Forster's research focuses on the paleoecology and paleoclimatology of North America, particularly during the Early Cretaceous period. His work utilizes isotopic and trace element analyses of vertebrate fossils and geological formations to reconstruct past continental ecosystems and environmental conditions. Forster has investigated latitudinal trends in these ecosystems, examining how factors like rainfall patterns influenced the oxygen isotope composition of meteoric water.

His publications explore methods for evaluating paleoecosystems, including the use of Laser Ablation ICP-MS for analyzing trophic-level indicators. Forster has also worked on refining the geochronologic framework of the nonmarine Western Interior Basin and re-evaluating oxygen isotopic gradients across North America during the Cretaceous. His collaborations include extensive work with Celina Suarez at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
