"150 years of Paleontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum"
Speaker: Tom Deméré
Tom Deméré attended San Diego State University (B.S., Geology), University of Southern California (M.S., Geology), and University of California
Los Angeles (Ph.D., Evolutionary Biology) and has worked at the San Diego Natural History Museum since 1979, where he is Curator of Paleontology.
Dr. Deméré is the author of numerous scientific and popular articles dealing with the paleontological history of southern California and the
evolutionary history of marine mammals. Tom also serves as Director of the Museum's Department of PaleoServices, which provides paleontological
assessment and mitigation services throughout the greater southern California region. The efforts of PaleoServices have resulted in the discovery
