Biography

Steven C. Clemens is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University, holding a PhD in Marine Geology obtained in 1990. He focuses on understanding the dynamics of global climate change, particularly within the Indian and East Asian monsoon systems. Relying on marine and terrestrial geological records, his work includes reconstructing historical monsoonal rainfall and employing a variety of sedimentological and geochemical proxies to investigate climate change over timescales ranging from centennial to millions of years. His teaching involves courses on oceanography and climate systems, specifically aimed at undergraduates interested in Earth sciences. His current research interests are supported by his involvement with the Climate and Environment research group at Brown University.
