Our research spans Earth’s surface and fluid systems, covering atmospheric physics, geochemistry, geobiology, and scales from ice crystals to hurricanes.
Understanding Earth’s Past to Shape Its Future
We study climate science, focusing on human-driven change, extreme events, Earth’s systems, past climates, and factors shaping life and planetary habitability.
