Chris Lowery
Research Assistant Professor, University of Texas at Austin
Chris Lowery is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. He is a paleoceanographer and micropaleontologist whose research focuses on how the physical/chemical environment of the oceans has changed over the last ~100 Myr, and how marine life, especially planktic foraminifera, responded to those changes.
