Collaborations
Working together with leading global institutions to advance ice sheet research.
Climate & Cryosphere Research at UB
The University at
Buffalo has a strong climate science and paleoclimate community, with a particular emphasis on the Arctic.
We work closely with several allied groups across the Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography:
Paleoclimate & Glacier History Lab
Dr. Jason Briner — lake sediments & cosmogenic isotopes to reconstruct past Arctic glacier extents
Biogeochemistry Lab
Dr. Elizabeth Thomas — organic biomarkers to infer past rainfall, moisture source, and temperature
Land-Atmosphere Group
Dr. Stuart Evans (Geography) — land-surface and dust effects on current and future climate via global models
Ice Sheet & Sea Level Lab
Dr. Sophie Nowicki — current and future projections of global sea level from Earth’s ice sheets
Glacier Modeling Lab
Dr. Kristin Poinar — numeric models & remote sensing to understand glacier and ice-sheet dynamics
Global Partnerships
The Remote Sensing
Laboratory (RS Lab) at the University at Buffalo actively collaborates with prominent universities, research
centers, and space agencies worldwide.
