Clara Blättler joined the University of Chicago in 2018 as an Assistant Professor. She obtained her DPhil in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford and an AB in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Harvard University. Her research focuses on isotope geochemistry, the geological carbon cycle, and paleoceanography. Blättler utilizes geochemical tools to explore interactions among oceans, sediments, the rock cycle, and climate systems, with a particular emphasis on sedimentary archives including carbonates and evaporites. Her active research projects include examining the Mediterranean-Atlantic gateway exchange and exploring Paleoproterozoic sedimentary records in Fennoscandia. Blättler's work captures a broad range of geological timescales from Archean to Recent samples from diverse locations and environments. Additionally, she investigates the geochemical behavior of alkaline lake deposits and the diagenetic effects on carbonate-associated sulfate records. Blättler has published numerous scholarly articles in reputable journals, contributing significantly to the understanding of historical climate and carbon cycle perturbations.
