Topic: Biology to Geology: The evolution of life and landscape in Bryce Canyon NP
Keynote Speaker: Arianna Harrington
About the speaker:
Arianna Harrington is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Southern Utah University. Growing up in Florida, she learned to love wandering in nature and observing wildlife. As an undergraduate and graduate student at the University of Florida and Duke University, she studied zoology and anthropology, and developed her research interests in mammalian evolutionary biology, comparative anatomy, and paleoanthropology. Big rocks and desert landscapes stole her heart during her first paleontological field experience, setting her on a course to a life in the intermountain west. At SUU, she primarily teaches human anatomy and mammalogy and enjoys mentoring student projects in both the lab and the great outdoors.
