Current Research Interests
Dr. Woodcock has a Ph.D from the University of Nebraska and has held faculty positions at the
University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Hawaii, and Clark University. Her research
deals with development of fossil wood as a climate proxy and forest & environmental history.
Current projects include 1) a study of the fossil forest Piedra Chamana, a 39-million-year old
fossil assemblage from the northern Andes of Peru (http://www.clarku.edu/research/peruvianflora)
and 2) research being carried out in collaboration with Clark faculty and students in the
HERO Project to document and assess the environmental significance of human modifications
to the glacial landforms of Central Massachusetts.
