Helen Burch
Paleontologist

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in the paleobiology group in the Geosciences Department at Virginia Tech under the guidance of Dr. Sterling Nesbitt. My research focuses on modeling Late Triassic vertebrate community dynamics through time and environmental change. Through my research, I aim to contribute to a big picture understanding of how ecosystems have changed through time and how this relates to our modern vertebrate communities.
