This stems from the scarcity of articulated Maastrichtian\u2013Paleocene fish skeletons, a paleontological hiatus termed Patterson\u2019s Gap. It is exacerbated by the limited paleoenvironmental context available for fossil-bearing low-latitude sections, especially the scarcity of direct paleotemperature records from settings that preserve marine fish assemblages. As a result, it remains difficult to evaluate how marine fish communities persisted through the dynamic climatic events of the early Paleogene. This dissertation addresses these problems using new fossil and geochemical data from Egypt, a paleotropical region on the southern Tethyan margin.\n\nI first document Qreiya 3, a new early Paleocene marine Lagerst\u00e4tte from the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Qreiya 3 is dated to approximately 62.2 Ma, occurs within the Late Danian Event horizon, and represents an offshore outer-neritic to upper-bathyal setting. The locality preserves abundant articulated and associated vertebrate material, including at least 21 actinopterygian taxa and rare chondrichthyans and non-fish vertebrates. The assemblage includes pycnodontiforms, clupeiformes, anguilliforms, osteoglossiforms, lampriforms, zeiforms, syngnathiformes, scombriforms, carangiforms, and additional acanthomorph and percomorph morphotypes, providing new fossil data from deep within Patterson\u2019s Gap.\n\nI then place Qreiya 3 within a broader comparative framework for marine fish turnover. Quantitative comparisons show that Qreiya 3 is the oldest known majority-percomorph marine assemblage and exceeds the diversity of all other Danian skeletal assemblages combined. It lacks several major Cretaceous predatory lineages but preserves early records of groups that became important components of Cenozoic and Recent marine faunas, including the oldest skeleton-based records of scombrids, carangids, menids, trichiuroids, syngnathids, and veliferids. Qreiya 3 therefore shows that substantial faunal restructuring had occurred in the tropical Tethys less than four million years after the K\u2013Pg extinction. Comparisons across sites further indicate that percomorphs were more common at lower paleolatitudes in the Paleocene before expanding into higher paleolatitudes by the Eocene.\n\nTo evaluate the pre-extinction context for this transition, I also describe the Campanian\u2013Maastrichtian actinopterygian assemblage of the Duwi Formation in the Western Desert of Egypt. This fauna retains a distinctly Mesozoic composition, including pachycormids, saurodontid, and aulopiforms such as enchodontids, dercetids, and cimolichthyids, showing that large-bodied, predatory teleost total-group lineages remained important components of southern Tethyan ecosystems shortly before the K\u2013Pg extinction. Quantitative comparisons indicate broad higher-level similarity among Campanian\u2013Maastrichtian assemblages and possible modest geographic structure, while uneven sampling, taphonomic differences, inconsistent stratigraphic resolution, and contrasting collecting histories strongly limit tests of latest Cretaceous fish provinciality.\n\nFinally, I place these new Egyptian fossil assemblages within a regional environmental framework using clumped isotope analyses of mollusk shells spanning the Campanian through Paleocene. These data provide the first low-paleolatitude marine temperature record across this interval and indicate persistent southern Tethyan warmth, with mean temperatures of approximately 28 \u00b0C in the latest Cretaceous and 30 \u00b0C in the Paleocene. In this context, diverse early Paleogene fish assemblages suggest that survivorship during hyperthermals may have involved physiological accommodation to sustained warmth and ecological buffering through deeper, thermocline-influenced habitats.\n\nTogether, these results show that the K\u2013Pg transformation of marine fish faunas was rapid, geographically structured, and environmentally complex. By linking fossil assemblages with direct environmental proxies, this dissertation demonstrates that undersampled low-latitude records from the southern Tethys are essential for resolving how modern marine fish communities emerged and persisted during the early Cenozoic.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149286-21906193@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149286", "building_id":"1000188", "building_name":"1100 North University Building", "campus_maps_id":"628", "room":"1528", "location_name":"1100 North University Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Earth And Environmental Sciences"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Earth and Environmental Sciences", "group_id":"3170", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/earth" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/07\/event_149286_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21906193 } , "149157-21905851": { "datetime_modified":"20260702T113847", "datetime_start":"20260716T100000", "datetime_end":"20260716T200000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-07-16", "date_end":"2026-07-16", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"20:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Stamps @ Ann Arbor Art Fair", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Stamps @ Ann Arbor Art Fair", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"The Stamps @ Ann Arbor Art Fair Student Exhibition is back!

Guided by the literature on mixed methods research, the course will present various motivations and strategies for blending qualitative components into a quantitative study. Students will be introduced to a variety of qualitative methods and the ways each approach can complement a survey, including focus groups, in-depth interviews, asynchronous research, cognitive testing, open-ended survey questions, and multiple methods used across a single study. Through case studies and collaborative exercises, students will explore the potential contribution of each method, as well as the benefits of combined methods to advance and understand specific research questions. Practical considerations will be covered, including study design, sampling, recruitment, data collection, analysis, and integration of qualitative findings into survey reporting. This course is designed for those with a specific research question in mind, as participants will be asked to design multi-method approaches to a research question of their choice. By the end of this course, participants will understand the role qualitative research can play in survey research and how to design and implement a qualitative phase in a multimethod study.\n\nDarby Steiger is Vice President of Innovation & Solutions and Director of Qualitative Research at SSRS.

Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions, performances, and events, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project, Byrne, Clegg, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response, they\u2019ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich\u2019s famous \u201crock\u201d to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950\u2019s, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest, creativity, and ritual, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as \u201cFordite\u201d (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called \u2018Detroit agate\u2019), Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed, sculpted, sealed, assembled, and macro-photographed, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement, expression, coherence, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged, photographed, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements\/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history, popular culture, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere.

Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions, performances, and events, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project, Byrne, Clegg, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 3 \nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138033-21881364@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138033", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Stamps Gallery, 201 South Division Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/the-stamps-gallery-pillar-project-fore-site-phase-three", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138033_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":53, "first_occurrence":21881327 } }
