Maureen Walsh

As Collections Manager, Maureen Walsh draws from over 20 years of museum curation, fossil preparation, Cultural Resource Management, and international outreach experience.  Walsh’s research interests focus on the micro-preparation of Mesozoic birds; since joining the Dinosaur Institute, she has worked on hundreds of feathered dinosaurs from sites across the globe.  Her specialty is early Cretaceous avian and non-avian dinosaurs from Liaoning, China, Mongolia, and Late Cretaceous Enantiornithines from Brazil and Spain.  Her recreational adventures continuously pursue isolated hot springs spas, aromatic food, informal English gardens, and world heritage sites for inspiration and relaxation.
