Amazing Earthfest

Since 2015 Katja has been the manager of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument’s Paleontology Lab in Kanab, the interim stop for many an important fossil collected from the rocks of the Kaiparowits Plateau. When not in the field excavating scientifically important material or surveying fossil rich rock layers, she, alongside a cadre of volunteer preparators, cleans and readies for study Late Cretaceous dinosaur and other vertebrate animal remains. She loves all things nature and spends a lot of her leisure time exploring.
