SPECIALTIES:

Cenozoic benthic foraminifers, biostratigraphy and paleoecology

CURRENT WORK:

Kristin's current work includes
  • Identify events in glaciomarine deposits which are related to either climate variability or sea level history since the last glacial maximum (NW Urban Corridor Mapping Project).
    • McDougall, Kristin, in review, Paleoceanography and correlation of late Quaternary glaciomarine units in Washington, 31 ms pages, 10 figures.
  • Develop a regional electronic database for paleontologic data which includes stratigraphy, age, and ecology (NW Urban Corridor Mapping Project)

  • Micropaleontologic studies of the Blakely Formation and the relationship of this formation and the initiation of the Seattle Fault, and history of the basin (NW Urban Corridor Mapping Project).

  • Provide biostratigraphic and paleoecologic analysis of wells drilled in the Los Angeles basin wells and provide and assist in the overall basin analsysis (FOQUS-LA Project)

  • Establish in cooperation with various disciplines a geochronlogy and paleoenvironmental framework for the Quaternary of the Los Angeles basin (FOQUS-LA Project).

  • Construct a Holocene paleoclimate and paleoceanographic model of the Gulf of California (Holocene Climates Project).

  • Scientist-in-Charge of the Flagstaff Science Center
