Stevens presently leads paleontological exploration in the Cenozoic deposits of the Rukwa Rift Basin of Tanzania, and her international team has discovered several new species of fossil mammals, crocodylians, snakes, frogs, fishes, and invertebrates. Her collaborative projects in this field area have provided new age estimations for the initiation of the Western Branch of the East African Rift System. She engages in collaborations on several other Cenozoic sites throughout Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Her work also explores modern day extinction dynamics through research on some of the most critically endangered primates on the planet, with projects in Madagascar, Vietnam and Uganda.
