SOUTHERN ALBERTA DINOSAUR PROJECT - JULY 2016, JULY-AUG 2018, JUNE-JULY 2019
I have participated in palaeontological fieldwork in the Milk River region in Southern Alberta over a number of field seasons since 2016. The majority of my time in the field has involved digging in quarries, specifically focused on late Cretaceous dinosaur, including tyrannosaurids, nodosaurids, and hadrosaurs. This has allowed me to build on several field skills and techniques over the years, including careful excavation, prospecting, field-jacketing, overburden removal, and specimen cataloguing.

SOUTHERN ALBERTA PLEISTOCENE PROJECT - JULY 2019
In the summer of 2019, I was lucky to join my lab mate and crew leader Ashley Reynolds, along with lab mate Denny Maranga, on a field expedition to relocate Pleistocene localities in the town of Medicine Hat, Alberta. Through prospecting and some excavation, we revisited fossil localities that had not been visited since the 1960s, where iconic fossil specimens have been found, including Canada's only record of the sabre-toothed cat Smilodon fatalis. Our expedition was featured on season 2 of the documentary series Dino Trails, which can be found here.
