Biography

Christo Buizert is an assistant professor in the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. His work aims to reconstruct and understand past climate change and atmospheric composition, using deep ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica. One of his main research interests is abrupt climate change of the last ice age (the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger cycle), and its impact on global climate, atmospheric circulation, and biochemistry. In 2012, Dr. Buizert obtained a PhD in geophysics from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark
