Tim Shanahan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on paleoclimatology and environmental geochemistry, aiming to enhance the understanding of past and present climate variability. Shanahan's work involves generating new quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions and assembling extensive proxy datasets for proxy-climate model comparisons. By employing various approaches, he seeks to elucidate how climate has varied in the past and identify the underlying mechanisms that drive these changes. Additionally, he is interested in how landscapes and ecosystems respond to climate changes, with the goal of understanding climate risk and sustainability.
