from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Karl Bambach (born May 18, 1934 in Cincinnati , Ohio ) is an American paleontologist who specializes in paleoecology .

Bambach studied at Johns Hopkins University with a bachelor's degree in 1957 and at Yale University with a master's degree in 1964 and a doctorate in 1969. He was a professor at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute . In 1957/58 he was at the Museum of National History, from 1958 to 1961 in the US Navy and from 1967 to 1970 he was a lecturer and assistant professor at Smith College . In 1978 he became Assistant Professor and in 1981 Professor of Paleontology at Virginia Polytech. After his retirement he worked at the Botanical Museum (Herbaria) at Harvard.

He was visiting associate professor at the University of Chicago in 1978/78, visiting professor at Utah State University in 1981 and visiting professor at Harvard University .

He is concerned with paleoecology, paleogeography, paleobiogeography and changes in the marine ecosystem and patterns in biodiversity and mass extinctions in the earth's past, for example that on the Permian Triassic border . He also deals with the Paleozoic stratigraphy of the Appalachians .

In 1998 he received the Raymond C. Moore Medal of the Society of Sedimentary Geology and in 2003 the Paleontological Society Medal . In 2003 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
