Research Groups

Anderson Group

Our research group addresses global scale issues at the intersection of climate and energy using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches.

Fischer Group

Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History, Geology, Geophysics, and Planetary Science
We study accretion, core formation and composition of the deep interiors of Earth and other terrestrial planets.

Fu Group

Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History, Geology, Geophysics, and Planetary Science
The Harvard Paleomagnetics Group

Huybers Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
We study how and why climate changes and the implications for human wellbeing.

Ishii Group

Geology, Geophysics, and Planetary Science
The Harvard Seismology Group carries out a broad range of projects, including mapping the interior of the earth, characterizing the seismic sources and global seismicity.

Jacob Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
The Jacob group uses atmospheric observations from satellites and other platforms, in combination with advanced models, to better understand the chemical composition of the atmosph

Jacobsen Group

Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History
We study isotope geochemistry and cosmochemistry; the formation and early differentiation of the terrestrial planets.

Johnston Group

Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History, Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
The primary goal within the group is to better understand the relationship between the evolution of the biosphere (namely microorganisms) and that of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere.

Kuang Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Tropical convection and large scale atmosphere-ocean dynamics

McColl Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
My group uses theory, numerical models and observations to understand the terrestrial water cycle, and its relation to weather and climate over land.

McElroy Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, including interactions with the biosphere, evolution of planetary atmospheres.

Meade Group

Geology, Geophysics, and Planetary Science
The Meade group uses mathematical and computational approaches to study the nature of the earthquake cycle and the evolution of topography.

Mitrovica Group

Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Our research explores the structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth system through a combination of advanced theoretical work, numerical modeling and data analysis.

Pearson Group
