<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">This NSF-funded project will explore the impact of different boundary conditions on hydroclimate changes across the tropics
since the Last Glacial Maximum. The research approach involves integrating isotope-enabled climate modes, paleoclimate data compilation and synthesis, and proxy system models. The successful candidate will be based at GMU and will collaborate closely with
researchers from Brown University, NCAR, and the Ohio State University. The position is supported for two years, contingent on satisfactory progress during the first year.</span></div>
