Middle-Upper Eocene successions were studied in the Fayum Depression in order to establish depositional and paleoenvironmental models that link the ichnological and sedimentologic data to relative sea-level changes in a sequence stratigraphic framework. Five facies associations …

My dissertation investigates the sea-level changes, large perturbations in the oceanic carbon cycle, and enrichments and distribution of iridium (Ir) across the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary (∼66 Ma). Biostratigraphic, lithofacies, and sequence stratigraphic analyses of t…
