Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Dennis Mmasa's research focuses on the chronostratigraphy and geological events of the Triassic-Jurassic period. His work investigates the timing of continental climate change and its relationship to major geological occurrences, such as the Central Atlantic Magmatic Event. Mmasa examines continental strata in western North America, utilizing geochemical records like δ13C isotopes to reconstruct past environmental conditions.
He has published research on the Moenave Formation in the western USA, providing a revised chronostratigraphy that offers implications for understanding Triassic-Jurassic climate shifts. Mmasa also studies the effects of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Event on continental strata in western Pangea, as recorded in areas like Warner Valley and Zion National Park. His collaborations include work with fellow researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Glenn R. Sharman, Celina Suarez, Jordan Oefinger, and Asher Boudreaux.
