Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clayton Forster's research focuses on geological and geochemical analyses, particularly concerning paleoclimatology and paleoecosystems. His work investigates the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of geological formations and fossilized vertebrate remains to reconstruct past environmental conditions and ecological dynamics. This includes the evaluation of isotopic chemostratigraphy for refining geochronologic frameworks, as demonstrated in his studies of the Cedar Mountain Formation and the Western Interior Basin. Forster also examines tectonic activity, such as slip rates and recent seismic events along fault lines in the Basin and Range province. His research utilizes techniques like Laser Ablation ICP-MS for analyzing trace element ratios as trophic-level indicators in microvertebrate assemblages. He has collaborated on multiple publications with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Celina Suarez, Jack Fekete, Barry Shaulis, and Glenn R. Sharman.
