is soliciting applications for funded Masters Degree graduate research positions. Projects are flexible, but will broadly explore paleoclimate problems in the American west and adjacent north Pacific Ocean during the Cenozoic. Topics of particular interest
include recontructing hydrologic variability and seasonality during past greenhouse intervals that may serve as analogs for future warming as well as constraining the spatiotemporal variability of north Pacific marine heatwaves. Students will have the opportunity
to work with cutting edge geochemical and isotope analyses in carbonates, develop new paleoclimate proxies and learn to work with data from general circulation models of Earth</span><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); font-size: 15px;">’</span><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;">s
