Bivalves live in a wide variety of environments, from the poles to tropics, from the deep-sea to freshwater streams. Their shells hold clues about past environments and climates, making them a valuable resource for climate and environmental change research. This talk will cover the basics of bivalve sclerochronology and present results of ongoing research developing new proxies.
Dr David P. Gillikin is Assistant Professor at the Department of Geology, Union College, Schenectady, NY , USA. His current research includes estuarine and freshwater biogeochemistry, freshwater mussel shell geochemistry, isotope chemostratigraphy and chemical dendrochronology.
