Richard Stockey

My research focuses on the evolution of complex ecosystems and their interaction with the biosphere through Earth history. Specifically, I integrate paleobiological techniques with multi-proxy sedimentary geochemistry to study the environmental dynamics of key ecological transitions in the early Paleozoic. I am further interested in incorporating data from ecological modelling, experimental physiology and field geology into a holistic statistical framework for understanding covariations in biotic and abiotic global change both sides of the Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic transition.
