PROFILE
BA Physics, Gustavus Adolphus College, 1998; MS Physics, University of
Michigan, 2000; PhD Applied Physics, University of Michigan, 2004;
Lamont-Doherty Postdoctoral Fellow, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO),
Columbia University, 2005-2007; Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Barnard College,
2007-2008; Storke-Doherty Lecturer, LDEO and the Department of Earth and
Environmental Sciences, Columbia University, 2008-present; Adjunct Assistant
Professor, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University,
2008-present. His research focuses on global and hemispheric reconstructions of
climate during the past several millennia. His specific areas of study focus on geothermal and tree-ring reconstruction methods, on attempts to
model the connections between climate and proxy systems and on the statistical
methods used to perform reconstructions of past climate patterns using
millennial simulations from global climate models to test the robustness of
climate reconstruction techniques.
