About Us March 7th, 2008
Paleoclimate research is a major strength at OSU, combining the efforts of several faculty in the Department of Geosciences and College of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. Current research focuses on Pliocene to Holocene problems, and includes studies of the terrestrial glacial geologic record, paleoceanography from the marine sediment record, speleothems, ice cores, and state of the art paleoclimate modeling. Modern laboratories for isotopic work, trace element analysis, ice core gases, cosmogenic nuclide dating, and computing are maintained for student and faculty research.
