Julia Clarke is an assistant professor in the Department of Marine,
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University, a
curator of paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural
Sciences, and a research associate in paleontology at the American
Museum of Natural History. Her research interests include the timing
and pattern of the origin of the lineages of extant birds and, more
broadly, the systematics of Dinosauria and the evolution of flight. She
serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Anatomy and is actively engaged in field work in Mongolia, China and Peru.

and Leo J. Hickey. 2006 May 15. Using leaf margin analysis to estimate
the mid-Cretaceous (Albian) paleolatitude of the Baja BC block. Earth and Planetary Science Letters 245(1–2):95–114. doi:10.1016/j.epsl.2006.02.022.
Ian Miller first discovered geology in rural Washington while
scavenging mine tailings for fool’s gold and pulling clams out of road
cuts. He is currently working on his thesis, a treatise on
paleobotanical proxies for paleolatitude, and is now a postdoctoral
fellow at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. His principle
interests are in paleobotanical proxies for, and statistical analysis
of, paleoclimate, paleolatitude and paleoelevation; the evolutionary
history and ecological radiation of Cretaceous angiosperms; taxonomic
analysis and nomenclature of whole Late Mesozoic floras; and tectonic
evolution of the Western Cordillera of North America.
