POTSDAM – SUNY Potsdam Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental Science Dr. Page Quinton has been named a SUNY Sustainability Faculty Fellow. Chancellor John B. King, Jr., announced her appointment this week as part of the second cohort to undertake the program.
The 12 fellows, representing 10 SUNY campuses, will strengthen curricular programs on climate and sustainability for students and faculty across SUNY's 64 colleges and universities.
Quinton is a stable isotope geochemist who studies the connection between the carbon cycle, ancient climate change, and major mass extinction events. Research she conducted with colleagues at El Kef, Tunisia, received international attention when it was published in the journal Science in 2018. Recent work has included research focusing on the role of climate change in the dinosaur mass extinction event, understanding the impact of early land plants on shallow seas, and understanding the connection between sea level change and carbon cycling. This work has taken her to Australia, Canada and all over the U.S.
