Eli Tziperman
Pamela and Vaco McCoy, Jr. Professor of Oceanography and Applied Physics
Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Our research deals with ocean, atmosphere and climate dynamics, trying to understand physical processes that affect Earth’s climate on time scales of a few years to millions of years, past, present and future.
Eli Tziperman is a professor of oceanography and applied physics in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University (since 2003), teaching oceanography, climate change, and applied math. Prior to that, he was a faculty member at the Weizmann Institute of Science. He is a graduate of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, in Physics and Mathematics (1982), and his PhD in physical oceanography is from the joint program in oceanography of MIT \& The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (1987). His research interests include large-scale climate and ocean dynamics, including El Nino, meridional overturning ocean circulation, past and future climate dynamics, including abrupt climate change, warm climates, glacial cycles, Snowball Earth, as well as advanced methods of data analysis
