Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clayton Forster's research focuses on paleoclimatology and paleoecology, particularly investigating the Cretaceous period in North America. His work utilizes isotopic chemostratigraphy and trace element analysis of vertebrate fossils to reconstruct ancient ecosystems and understand latitudinal trends in continental paleo-ecosystems within the Western Interior Basin. Forster also examines the oxygen isotopic gradient and constructs meteoric water oxygen isospapes for North America during the Cretaceous. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Celina Suarez, Jack Fekete, Barry Shaulis, and Glenn R. Sharman, on multiple publications. His recent publications explore the geochronologic framework of the Early Cretaceous and the depositional age of formations like the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah.
