I am an
Associate Professor in
the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the
University at Albany, State University
of New York (SUNY). I received my Ph.D. in 1995 from the
University of Bern,
Switzerland and worked as a Research Associate Professor at the
University of Massachusetts,
Amherst, before joining the University at Albany in 2008. I
teach courses on Climate Variability and Predictability, Climate
Change,
Paleoclimatology, and Major Topics in Environmental Science. My
research focuses
on past, present and future climate change in the tropics. I
have participated in over a dozen expeditions to
the Andes and Mt. Kilimanjaro and published
over 60 peer-reviewed articles on topics of climate change and
glacier retreat.
I served as a contributing author to the 3rd Assessment report
by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and have
briefed congressional
staffers, management from the World Bank, the Interamerican
Development Bank
and UNESCO on impacts of climate change in Andean countries. I
currently serve as a Senior Fellow in the U.S. State
Department’s Energy and Climate
Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) initiative and as a U.S.
representative in the
National Committee for the International Union of Quaternary
Research (INQUA).
