Faculty

The ESS faculty represent a broad range of interests and experience dealing with key aspects of global climate change and the functioning of the Earth as a system. Research interests focus on environmental change in the atmosphere and at the terrestrial and oceanic interfaces with the atmosphere. The faculty have interests in atmospheric chemistry, particularly in areas dealing with changes in atmospheric ozone and in greenhouse gas concentrations, in atmospheric dynamics, in oceanography and paleoceanography, and in biogeochemical processes of the tropical and boreal terrestrial systems. The ESS department faculty are active as members of a variety of boards and panels directing the global change research agenda.     Steven D.
