As a child, Chelsea Korpanty, Ph.D.<\/a>, a new assistant professor of marine science<\/a> at Eckerd College, would go on fossil hunts with her parents\u2014scouring the Midwest for marine fossils embedded in outcrops that were covered in water 350 million years ago.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Her parents were public school teachers with passions for geology, so her enthusiasm for rocks could be both innate and nurtured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like the 125,000-year-old Pleistocene fossil corals that I studied from the Caribbean,\u201d Korpanty says. \u201cThat was my first field research project as an undergraduate. If you stop to look at the rocks, they tell an interesting story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much of Korpanty\u2019s research and passion are devoted to looking at fossilized coral and marine invertebrates in tropical and deep-water coral reefs. Her work investigates what marine communities were like in the past and how they have responded to environmental changes over time. Fossils reveal species diversity and abundance, which can be compared to analogous living systems today, Korpanty says.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9182″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Assistant Professor of Marine Science Chelsea Korpanty, Ph.D.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Thea Rind, a first-year student from Summit, New Jersey, was enthralled when Korpanty explained that students who selected her lab for the First-Year Research Associateship program<\/a> would be categorizing and studying 13,000-year-old coral and invertebrate fossils.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cI have always been fascinated by corals,\u201d Thea says. \u201cSo when I heard Dr. Korpanty talk about her work, I thought she was incredibly knowledgeable, and the project seemed so interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thea spends one day a week in Korpanty\u2019s lab, and she also takes the professor\u2019s Geological Oceanography lecture and lab twice a week. \u201cIt just worked out that way with my schedule, but I am so grateful because I\u2019m able to build a closer bond,\u201d Thea says.<\/p>\n

She attended Cornell College\u2014fully expecting to go on to graduate school for architecture. But her first geology class dramatically changed her trajectory. She took many immersive geology field trips around the Midwest and eventually took trips abroad to Cura\u00e7ao and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

After graduating with a B.A. in geology and another in studio art, Korpanty headed to the University of North Carolina Wilmington to see where the geosciences would take her. She dug even deeper into the marine invertebrate fossils by doing her master\u2019s-degree study in shallow systems of mollusks and seagrasses, both living and dead assemblages, to view the change to the environment over time. When she was ready to earn her Ph.D., she headed toward one of the world\u2019s most famous coral environments to study at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.<\/p>\n

Korpanty completed her doctorate in four years and headed to the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen in Germany<\/a> to conduct postdoctoral research. But her desire had been to return to the U.S. to teach\u2014preferably at a small college\u2014ever since she taught her first course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.<\/p>\n

This semester Korpanty also teaches Earth Systems History, an upper-level course that considers the planet\u2019s 4.6 billion years through fossils, map making, tectonic theory and more. She\u2019s even planning to have future class sections travel to Florida quarries so they themselves might search for marine fossils\u2014in the same way that set her on the path to becoming their instructor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assemblages of marine species have changed a lot over geologic time as the global climate and local environments have changed,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe fossil record provides us the opportunity to look at these changes\u2014to understand the stories of why, how and where marine communities are assembled the way they are today. Figuring out these stories fascinates me.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
