ABOUT JOHN'S WORK
John Horner studies the paleobiology of dinosaurs, with a focus on their physiology, behavior, ontogeny, and evolution.

His research findings derive primarily from discoveries of dinosaur eggs, embryos, nests of juveniles, and groups of adults, as well as from numerous dinosaur species and related geologic information collected in Montana and in Alberta, Canada.  His research has shown that some dinosaur species cared for their nest-bound young as living birds do today.  Horner is co-author of several books, including Maia, A Dinosaur Grows Up (1985), Dinosaur Lives (1997), and Dinosaurs Under the Big Sky (2001).  He has published numerous articles in such journals as Nature, Paleobiology, and the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.  He also served as a technical advisor to the Jurassic Park film series.

BIOGRAPHY
Horner is the Regent’s Professor of Paleontology and Curator of Paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, and an adjunct assistant professor of geology at Montana State University and the University of Montana, Missoula.  He formerly worked for Princeton University as a fossil preparator and spent his summer vacations in Montana doing fieldwork on dinosaur remains.

Horner studied at the University of Montana without taking a degree.  He was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science from the University in 1986.

关于约翰的工作
约翰-霍纳研究恐龙的古生物学，重点是它们的生理学、行为学、本体发育和进化。

他的研究结果主要来自于对恐龙蛋、胚胎、幼体的巢穴和成体的发现，以及在蒙大拿州和加拿大阿尔伯塔州收集的众多恐龙物种和相关地质资料。 他的研究表明，一些恐龙物种像今天的活鸟一样照顾它们的巢穴幼体。 霍纳是几本书的合著者，包括《迈亚，恐龙的成长》（1985）、《恐龙的生活》（1997）和《大天空下的恐龙》（2001）。 他在《自然》、《古生物学》和《脊椎动物古生物学杂志》等杂志上发表了许多文章。 他还担任过《侏罗纪公园》系列电影的技术顾问。

个人简历
霍纳是蒙大拿州立大学落基山脉博物馆的古生物学执政教授和古生物学馆长，也是蒙大拿州立大学和蒙大拿大学米苏拉分校的地质学兼职助理教授。 他曾在普林斯顿大学担任化石制备师，并利用暑假在蒙大拿州从事恐龙遗骸的野外工作。

霍纳在蒙大拿大学学习，没有取得学位。 1986年，他被授予该大学的荣誉科学博士学位。
