Jordan\u2019s current research is centered around an interval of environmental change in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, best exposed near Drumheller, Alberta. This time interval of roughly 2 million years is known to contain drastic sedimentological changes and a faunal turnover in dinosaur species. He wants to know exactly what caused such changes in the environment and how it affected floral and faunal communities. Jordan uses an interdisciplinary approach using methods in vertebrate paleontology, paleobotany and palynology to answer his research questions. Jordan especially enjoys the technical side of paleontology, whether it is collecting a dinosaur skeleton in the field, retracing historic quarries, or carefully using chemicals to prepare and image the cellular structure of fossil leaves. Jordan is a lead-supervisor on the grad student-led Morrin Bridge Field Project and supervises the evening DinoLab.<\/p>\n

Jordan grew up near Edmonton and completed a BSc in ecology, evolution, and environmental biology at the UofA where he was re-introduced to his love of paleontology through the PALEO 400 field school. Before starting a master\u2019s at the UofA Jordan worked as a technician at the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum near Grande Prairie, Alberta and he continues to be involved with the Boreal Alberta Dinosaur Project.<\/p>\n
