معرفی
Curtis Congreve is an Asst Teaching Professor at North Carolina State University (NCSU), specializing in paleontology with a focus on the interconnections between life and Earth System dynamics. He joined NCSU in 2018 as part of the teaching faculty, bringing expertise in evolutionary and ecological changes during the Ordovician period. His research integrates phylogenetic and biogeographic methods to study fossil invertebrates during periods of environmental upheaval, particularly mass extinctions.
Education: B.S. Geology (University of Rochester, 2006); Ph.D. Geology (University of Kansas, 2013). His career includes prior work in Pennsylvania and diverse geographic research experiences.
Research Interests:
- Evolutionary history of fossil groups via computational phylogenetics
- Correlations between evolutionary rate shifts and paleoenvironmental changes
- Survivorship patterns during mass extinctions
- Phylogeographic origins of fossil clades
- Taxonomic descriptions of trilobites and brachiopods
- Phylogenetic integration of macroecological data
Publications span evolutionary theory, mass extinction dynamics, and phylogenetic frameworks applied to brachiopods and trilobites. His work bridges deep-time ecology with modern phylogenetic methodologies.
