The Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology (CASHP) describes mission as "to undertake research that addresses fundamental problems in human evolution." [10] Faculty come from multiple GW departments. CASHP also houses GW's human paleobiology graduate program. [10]
The study program includes, among other topics: Experimental Evolution, Molecular Evolution, Behavioral Biology, Evolutionary Theory, Mathematical Modelling and Organism Evolution. Each year, 10 to 15 students are selected to enroll the program and to join one of the over 30 research groups involved during the three-year graduate education.
Graduate students can earn a master of science or doctoral degree. The Department of Geosciences' graduate program has two top-ranking programs: paleontology and earth sciences, according to U.S. News & World Report. [11] The department was also listed as No. 1 in the “10 Best Paleontology Graduate Programs for 2019” by The Best Colleges. [15]
Paleobiology (or palaeobiology) is an interdisciplinary field that combines the methods and findings found in both the earth sciences and the life sciences. Paleobiology is not to be confused with geobiology , which focuses more on the interactions between the biosphere and the physical Earth .
While she was a graduate student at Harvard in 1969, Behrensmeyer was invited by paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey to be his team's geologist and map fossil deposits at Koobi Fora in Kenya. [4] She discovered a cluster of stone tools eroding out of a volcanic tuff, an ash layer from an ancient eruption that filled a small paleochannel. The ...

Zanno has contributed to more than 200 technical publications, [4] [5] and her work has been cited more than 2,000 times. She has published in leading international journals, including Nature, Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science Advances, Current Biology, Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, and Scientific Reports.
David Evans' research focuses primarily on the evolution and paleobiology of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs, particularly in North American ecosystems. He has published extensively on various aspects of hadrosaurs, following his undergraduate and doctoral dissertations, including phylogenetics , [ 8 ] development, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] biostratigraphy ...
