Darrell S. Kaufman
Regents' Professor, Northern Arizona University
Member, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology Fellows Committee
I study geologic records of environmental changes to understand how the Earth system responds to natural and anthropogenic forcings on millennial time scales. I focus on lake sediments from Alaska, geochronology, and proxy climate syntheses.
