    DR KIRSTIN BRINK - Adjunct Vertebrate Curator

    Kirstin is currently Assistant Professor of Palaeontology in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Manitoba.
    She is a vertebrate palaeontologist interested in the evolution and development of teeth and bones, specifically tissue structure and growth rates, and the relationship between structure, growth, and animal ecology. Her research involves the use of living animal models to understand how extinct animals grew and interacted with their environment. She has worked with living reptiles (e.g. leopard geckos and green anoles), and fossils of non-mammalian synapsids (e.g., Dimetrodon), dinosaurs (e.g. Tyrannosaurus rex and Hypacrosaurus stebingeri), plants (Cunninghamia hornbyensis), and trackways (Ichniotherium). She uses histology, microscopy, Computed Tomography (CT scans), Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy to address her research.
    Kirstin Brink will connect the palaeontological resources at the CFDC with the students, researchers, and educational resources at the University of Manitoba.

    Summer Students

    Every year, the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre hires Geology-related students under the Federal programs Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works, and the Provincial program Green Team, to provide a valuable experience to those students, and to help the Centre to meet its Mission Statement for research and education. Summer students are involved in museum programming, field work, and research.
