The entire range of Stratigraphic Disciplines

The journal’s mission is to publish peer-reviewed papers that use modern stratigraphic tools – biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, climatostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, GSSPs and more – to explore broad ideas in earth history.

She completed her MS degree in Geology in 1994, with a focus on planktic foraminifera, at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. In 2001, she was awarded her PhD in Geology on the subject of calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and paleoceanography from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Her research, projects, and teaching experience spans over 25 years, and she has authored over 200 scientific publications and abstracts. She has sailed on one Ocean Drilling Program expedition and has participated in over 35 land-based drilling projects on both the national and international level. She is on the Board of Directors for the International Nannoplankton Association Foundation, which awards the Katharina von Salis Graduate Research Fellowship to promote research on fossil nannoplankton.
