ABOUT
Join us for August's CU Social Series as we learn about paleobiology, the field of science that combines paleontology and biology to study past life on earth. Dr. Camilla Alves Souto, an Assistant Professor of Marine Science at Stockton University, will be presenting on the evolution of marine invertebrates. She specializes in the study of the echinoderms - sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sea stars.
Hailing from Brazil, Dr. Alves Souto has her undergraduate degree in Biology and an MS in Zoology from the University of Bahia. She received her PhD in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. As a researcher she studies specimens in museum collections around the world and studies live organisms in various marine ecosystems worldwide. Her projects are driven by her curiosity and interest in understanding the processes that have shaped the evolution of marine life over millions of years, i.e. how did animals survive extinctions, how and where they live, and how they are managing to stay alive in today's world. This integrative approach, where Marine Biology and Paleontology intersect, allows her to study broad-scale animal evolution in deep time.
