Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Jenn Fehrenbacher

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Fehrenbacher is the director of the Foraminarian Lab within the College of Earth, Ocean, & Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. Her research involves components of trace element and stable isotope geochemistry, biomineralization, and marine biology. She develops and uses proxies, primarily to trace elements in marine calcifiers, for reconstructing ocean circulation, temperature, and chemistry in the past.
A few of the primary research questions she seeks to answer are: How do marine calcifiers make their shells? How do they exert control over trace element/Ca ratios and modify the trace element/Ca ratios so greatly from seawater. She seeks to find answers to these questions to improve paleo-proxies through culturing live specimens and applying laboratory-based developments to specimens from fossil record.
