Dr. Alan D. Foreman

I am a climate scientist and paleoceanographer. My research utilizes geochemical tracers to elucidate past changes in Earth's climate on annual, decadal, and millenial timescales. As a whole, my work aims to understand how Earth's climate has varied in the past to better predict how it will change under future climate change scenarios.
