New Publication Coauthored by Prof Delson
Coauthored by Prof Eric Delson of Lehman College First record of Mesopithecus (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from the Miocene of the Iberian Peninsula We report dental remains of the extinct colobine monkey Mesopithecus from the Turolian (MN13, Late Miocene, ca. 6.23 Ma) locality of Venta del Moro (Valencia, Spain). They include most of the deciduous dentition and the unerupted germs of the first molars of a single infantile individual, as well as two lower left lateral incisors from two additional individuals. On the basis of morphometric comparisons, mainly based on the M1s, these remains are attributed to the Late Miocene species Mesopithecus pentelicus. …

9/17: Dr. Kennet Flores “Understanding Convergent Plate Boundary Evolution”
Make sure you attend tomorrow’s colloquium @ 5:30 PM in Science Center featuring Dr. Kennett Flores of Brooklyn College Speaking on “”Understanding Convergent Plate Boundary Evolution” Dr. Flores is a regional field geologist who applies various techniques, including stratigraphy, structural geology, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, and sedimentology, to develop geodynamic scenarios and plate tectonic models for fossil convergent plate boundaries. Most of his field research has been focused on Central American accretionary prisms and suture zones. His other foci are the evolution and modeling of the plate tectonics of the Pacific Ocean including the Circum-Pacific convergent margins and the exhumation process …
9/11: Special Public Space Seminar from 1-2:30 PM at Psychology Hub (6th floor)
9.11.15 Brown Bag Lunch with Visiting Scholars Flyer Thomas Hall Focus on empirical and ethnographic research in the following fields: homelessness and ‘street’ populations, spatial practices of urban care, repair and patrol, begging, benefits and gifts, youth transitions, biography and locality (including mixed methods work with young people), informal education and citizenship and devolved governance and the third (community) sector. Am also interested in the cultural sociology of urban and social exploration, (pedestrian) motilities and mobile methods. These various interests converge on, and inform, a primary concern with the street-level experience and management of inequality in urban public space(s). Robin …
