Brief Biography

1965–1967: Postdoctoral research associate with Curator Richard H. Benson, Smithsonian Institution, studying ostracodes of the International Indian Ocean Expedition.

1967–Present: Professor of Geosciences, University of Houston. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in paleobiology,micropaleontology, oceanography and historical geology and conduct research on Ostracoda and other microfossils.
