     \ the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains. Her specialty is dinoflagellates (a\
     \ type of algae), and she studies their fossil cysts for what they reveal about\
     \ the time and environment of deposition and how they came to be preserved in\
     \ the fossil record. She also specializes in stratigraphic nomenclature and\
     \ methods of stratigraphic correlation.Mentorship/OutreachCourses taught at\
