Biography

Judson Partin is a Research Associate Professor at the Institute of Geophysics within the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. His research aims to understand externally forced, internally driven changes that affect the Earth's climate, specifically through the study of paleoclimate archives. By utilizing records from speleothems, corals, and foraminifera in tropical regions, he evaluates current climate trends and assesses climate models to project future changes. His focus on producing long records of hydroclimate involves quantifying uncertainty in climate reconstructions and comparing paleoclimate data with climate model outputs. Dr. Partin earned his Ph.D. in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2008, an M.A. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Southern California in 2000, and a B.S. in Chemistry from The Citadel in 1997. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the Geological Society of America.
