This research program focuses on studying dinosaur limb mechanics, utilizing computer simulations to analyze their movement patterns, footprint formation, and interpretation. Techniques like LiDAR digital mapping are employed at excavation sites. The Manchester research group also investigates dinosaur injuries (palaeopathology), fossil preservation (taphonomy), and embryonic development. Their work extends to reconstructing ancient ecosystems at dinosaur sites, examining exceptional fossil deposits (lagerstätten), and researching the classification and ancient environments of arthropods.
