OverviewAI-generated summary

Celina Suarez is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on paleontology, with recent publications examining the geology and taphonomy of tyrannosaurid bonebeds, the sedimentology of Cretaceous coastal plains, and new vertebrate faunas from the Lower Cretaceous Holly Creek Formation. Suarez also investigates paleoecology, as evidenced by her work on the Bajo Barreal Formation in Patagonia. Her research extends to the paleoclimatology and geochemistry of Cretaceous strata, including geochronology and carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the Cedar Mountain Formation. She has also studied oxygen isotopes in Cretaceous marine lizards to understand their migration and freshwater consumption in the Western Interior Seaway.

Beyond paleontology, Suarez has conducted systematic reviews on factors associated with post-traumatic growth in parents of children admitted to the intensive care unit. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, with 93 total publications and 872 total citations. She has served as Principal Investigator on a $500,656 NSF grant for research on terrestrial biodiversity dynamics during the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum and as Co-PI on a $1,099,952 NSF grant for the acquisition of a Multicollector ICP-MS for research in geology, archeology, and paleobiology.
