Climate

Labs/Working Groups:

Atmosphere & Ocean Dynamics:

• Abrupt Climate Change
• Uncertainty Quantification
• Ocean Energy Cascade
• Climate Prediction
• Current Meter Archive

Cryosphere:

While the general focus of our research is to improve our understanding of ice sheet change in response to climate, we are also interested in obtaining a basic knowledge of how ice sheets work. This includes Earth's great ice sheets and other ice sheets in our solar system (e.g. Mars & Europa). This is accomplished by obtaining detailed information about ice sheet boundary conditions and observations of ice sheet change using a variety of field-based research tools and remotely sensed data.

Land Surface - Atmosphere Interactions:

• Air Quality
• Drought
• Water Resources
• Remote Sensing

Paleoclimate:

We address the following challenges using records from select sedimentary archives (lake sediments, marine sediments, speleothens, corals) and analytical approaches (stable isotopes, biomarkers) in state-of-the-art science facilities (inorganic and organic chemistry).
