Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Celina Suarez's research program investigates paleontology, focusing on vertebrate faunas and paleoecology across various geological formations. Her work includes detailed analyses of fossil sites, such as a tyrannosaurid bonebed from the Kaiparowits Formation and a new vertebrate fauna from the Lower Cretaceous Holly Creek Formation in Arkansas. Suarez also studies the sedimentology and geochronology of formations like the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, examining coastal plain environments and lacustrine strata.

Her research extends to paleoenvironmental reconstructions, including the study of oxygen isotopes from Cretaceous marine lizards to understand their migration patterns and freshwater consumption in the Western Interior Seaway. Suarez has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative research on terrestrial biodiversity dynamics during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum and for the acquisition of a multicollector ICP-MS to support research in geology, archaeology, and paleobiology. She has a h-index of 17 and has published 92 papers, with 892 citations.

In addition to her paleontological work, Suarez has also engaged in research within the health sciences, co-authoring a systematic review on factors associated with post-traumatic growth in parents of children admitted to the intensive care unit. Her key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Clayton Forster, Glenn R. Sharman, Jack Fekete, and Barry Shaulis.
