Claudia C. Johnson studies the paleontology and ecology of reef ecosystems, examining how coral and other reef-building organisms have diversified, evolved, and gone extinct over geological time. Her work spans both ancient reefs—including Cretaceous rudist bivalves (an extinct group of mollusks that built reefs during the dinosaur era)—and modern deep-sea corals, connecting fossil records with present-day biodiversity patterns. She also applies quantitative methods, such as machine learning and habitat modeling, to understand how corals respond to environmental change.
