Rebecca Fischer
My research focuses on the formation and chemical evolution of the Earth, as well as the modern state of its interior, by investigating phase diagrams and equations of state of Earth materials, metal–silicate partitioning at high pressures, and the chemistry of planetary accretion. Using diamond anvil cells and laser-heating to…
Kaighin McColl
Kaighin McColl is an Assistant Professor at Harvard University, jointly appointed in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His group uses theory, models and observations to understand the terrestrial water cycle, and its connection to weather and climate over land. Prior…
Eli Tziperman
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…
Zhiming Kuang
The main goal of my current research is to better understand and simulate how tropical convection interacts with the large-scale flow. This interaction is key to the tropical circulation, particularly the rainfall distribution and its variability. These issues are important to society. Variations in the Asian monsoon rain, for example,…
Naomi Oreskes
Naomi Oreskes is Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. A world-renowned earth scientist, historian and public speaker, she is the author of the best-selling book, Merchants of Doubt (2010) and a leading voice on the role…

John Holdren
Dr. John P. Holdren is the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, CoDirector of the School’s Science, Technology, and Public Policy program, Professor of Environmental Science and Policy in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Faculty Affiliate in the…
Dimitar Sasselov
Professor Sasselov studies the interaction between light and matter (radiative transfer) from stars and exoplanets to biomolecules at the origins of life, and astrobiology in general. He runs a photochemistry lab exploring the origins of life’s building blocks with photochemical and photodynamic experiments. He is the director of Harvard’s Origins…
Andrew H. Knoll
Andy Knoll is the Fisher Professor of Natural History at Harvard University. He received his B.A. in Geology from Lehigh University in 1973 and his Ph.D., also in Geology, from Harvard in 1977. Following five years on the faculty of Oberlin College, Knoll returned to Harvard as Associate Professor of Biology…
Brian F. Farrell
Professor Farrell’s primary research area is dynamic meteorology. Dynamic meteorologists use physics and mathematics together with numerical simulation to gain fundamental understanding of the motions of the atmosphere. Professor Farrell has been particularly interested in the turbulence of the jet stream and the origin and predictability of cyclones, the low…
