Collaborative research
APRS initiatives connect regional palaeontology, global comparative research, and emerging analytical methods.
Our projects combine fossils, geological context, comparative anatomy, and emerging tools to better understand ancient life and strengthen how discoveries are studied.
Current research
This project investigates the taxonomic and ecological diversity of dinosaurs across Alberta’s fossil-bearing formations. By bringing together specimens, stratigraphy, and geographic data, we aim to better understand how dinosaur communities changed through time.
Current research
This project investigates mosasaur systematics and evolution across the group, examining anatomy, relationships, diversity, biogeography, and adaptation through time. Through comparative anatomy and phylogenetic research, we aim to clarify mosasaur taxonomy and better understand how these marine reptiles diversified worldwide. Material from Morocco’s Late Cretaceous phosphate deposits forms one important area of this broader research.
Current research
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm and represents a new frontier for palaeontology. APRS is using the newest cutting-edge methods to support literature synthesis, specimen documentation, image analysis, pattern detection, and hypothesis development while maintaining scientific judgment, transparency, and reproducibility.
