Dr.
Rowe's primary research focuses on the evolution and development
of the vertebrate skeleton. This work is directed mostly at
the early history of mammals and their extinct relatives, and
on the history of birds and their extinct relatives among Dinosauria.
An important tool for this research is high-resolution X-ray
computed tomography, which has become a secondary research focus.
This breakthrough technology permits the non-destructive inspection
of internal structure in even the smallest and most delicate
of vertebrate specimens. In collaborative research with scientist
from many countries, Dr. Rowe is scanning and studying the anatomy
of some of the world’s most significant fossils. |
