TALK TITLE:
Biomechanics from dinosaur footprints
DETAILS:
Peter Falkingham is Professor of Palaeobiology at Liverpool John Moores University. His background includes Biology, Geology, and Computer Science.
Professor Falkingham uses modern technologies, including high-performance computer simulation, machine learning, and X-ray reconstruction of moving morphology, to extract information about locomotion from the fossil record.
