About

Professor Michael Caldwell is the Chair at the University of Alberta, Canada. His research focuses on the morphology and systematics of reptiles, including recent work on fossil snakes and the cranial anatomy of modern species. He has contributed to the understanding of reptilian evolution through studies on climate crises and their impact on diversity during the Oligocene and Paleocene epochs.
