Proposed research using collections data of eastern Pacific marine invertebrate fossil collections of the Cenozoic:
* Assessment of how individual species, communities, and ecosystems respond to environmental change on evolutionary and long-term ecological timescales.
* Modeling predictions of response to future environmental change.
* Verification and standardization of taxonomic assemblages for analysis of distribution.
* Food web analysis.
* Study of tectonically-induced change on biodiversity.
