Emma is a palaeobiologist interested in understanding the drivers that shaped vertebrate evolution and biodiversity through deep time. Some of her current work includes investigating how past climate change drove dinosaur evolution, examining how sampling biases can impact our understanding deep time biodiversity patterns, and performing data-driven analyses of how ethical issues and the legacy of colonialism influence palaeontological research.
