DAVID ARCHER

David Archer (scientist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Archer is a computational ocean chemist,[1] and has been a Professor at the Department of The Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago since 1993.[2] He has published research on the carbon cycle of the ocean and the sea floor. He has worked on the history of atmospheric CO2 concentration, the fate of fossil fuel CO2 over geologic time scales in the future, and the impact of CO2 on future ice age cycles, ocean methane hydrate decomposition, and coral reefs.[1]
He is a contributor to the blog RealClimate[1] and he costarred in a climate change blues music video.

Education

He obtained his Ph.D from the University of Washington in 1990.[2]
