Dr. Brittany N. Hupp  

Welcome to my page! I am an assistant professor at George Mason University in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences. As a geoscientist, I use the tools of micropaleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and low-temperature geochemistry to answer questions about past climates, ocean conditions, and marine biota. I'm interested in exploring the dynamic interplay between ocean-climate and ecological change, working to improve our proxy toolkit to investigate past environmental change, and investigating potential biases that influence our interpretations of rock and fossil records. At heart, I love cooking, being artfully creative, and fossil hunting with my geoscientist partner, our geologist-in-training son, and our dog, Darwin. I am actively recruiting undergraduate and graduate students to join my lab at GMU, so please reach out if you are interested!
