Thank you for supporting Rebel Raiser! Keeping Paleontology Alive in Nevada
Thank you for your support! The Paleontology research group at UNLV, lead by Dr. Steve Rowland, studies both the ecology of ancient ecosystems as well as how those assemblages came to be preserved in the fossil record to better interpret life through time. Southern Nevada is a fossil-rich region, and the team's projects currently include paleontological, paleoecological, and taphonomic studies of Ediacaran invertebrates, late Paleozoic and Mesozoic vertebrate trackways, Cretaceous dinosaur-bearing strata, Miocene terrestrial ecosystems, and the Pleistocene megafauna.

UNLV's Paleontology program works closely with the Las Vegas Natural History Museum where students and faculty work in the prep lab and as museum volunteers. The program also works closely with the recently established Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument and Ice Age Fossils State Park, both of which are on the northern margin of Las Vegas Valley.

Your Gift Matters: Promoting STEM in Our Community
We're raising funds to launch of a new program to provide local high school students with a hands-on science lab experience at the UNLV campus. The goal of our program is to provide local high school students with exciting exposure to a STEM laboratory, allow them hands-on experience with lab microscope equipment and visually stunning prepared samples, as well as expose them to the incredibly diverse UNLV campus. We want to show them not only what STEM is, but also to give them a sense of belonging in a setting that could otherwise be intimidating. This program will also provide an enriching experience for current UNLV students who will interact with, mentor, and act as role models for visiting students.
