Carla J. Harper

I am a paleobotanist with a specialization in paleomycology. My research interests include the biology and ecology of microorganisms and biotas in Permian (~270 Ma), Triassic (~240 Ma), and Jurassic (~180 Ma) ecosystems of Antarctica and late Paleozoic of Europe (~400 Ma and 330 Ma); symbiotic systems through time, as well as the biology (especially interactions, interrelatedness, and nutritional modes), geochemistry, and evolution of fossil microbes.
