A few months ago, I was notified that I got an NSF CAREER award!  I’ve been sitting on the news for a while, while the details got worked out.  But here’s the official announcement from UC Merced and the link to the award within the NSF Earth Sciences Division.  Many thanks to NSF’s Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology group for supporting my work!!

And this also means that I’ll be looking for a grad student to work with on this for next fall! So for prospective grad students, please look through the various announcements, my webpage and papers, etc., and contact me if you have exciting ideas you want to work on that relate to this project!
