People
Dr. Ken Severin is the Director Emeritus of the AIL. He started out as a micropaleontologist (both large and small foraminifera) and moved into the analysis and interpretation of elemental signatures in otoliths (fish ear bones). He has collaborated on projects from ice crystals to moose teeth to volcanic rocks, and is currently examining the atomic structure of otoliths with an eye toward getting at the causality behind the elemental patterns they contain. Ken specializes in X-ray Spectroscopy and Electron Microscopy techniques.
