INSTAAR Directorate MembersDavid M. AndersonFellow of INSTAAR; AdjointAssociate Professor ofGeological Sciences,University of Colorado atBoulder; Director, World DataCenter for Paleoclimatologyand Chief of PaleoclimatologyBranch of the NationalClimatic Data Center, U.S.Department of Commerce,National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.PhD: 1991, Brown University.Specialty: Paleoceanography, marine geology, quantitativepaleoenvironmental reconstruction.Research Interests: Research on the marine geologicrecord of climate change, with emphasis on quantitativeestimates of past ocean temperature and ocean upwelling/productivity. Projects include reconstructions of ocean carbonateion concentration related to the ocean’s role in theglobal carbon cycle, reconstruction of long-term trends inthe Asian summer monsoon, and projects to reconstructthe coastal ocean currents in the eastern Pacific and theirinfluence of the climates of North and South America.Robert S. AndersonFellow of INSTAAR; Professorof Geological Sciences,University of Colorado atBoulder. PhD: 1986,University of Washington.Specialty: Geomorphology,mechanics and timing oflandscape evolution.Research Interests: Myacademic interests focus onthe processes that drive landscape evolution, studiedthrough monitoring of modern systems, numerical modelingof these systems constrained by modern rates, andestablishment of a chronology that constrains the longerterm pace of landscape evolution. Recent research hasfocused on alpine landscapes and the glaciers and riversthat carve them.Suzanne PrestrudAndersonResearch Scientist ofINSTAAR; AssistantProfessor of Geography.PhD: 1995, University ofCalifornia, Berkeley.Specialty: Geomorphology,weathering, hydrology,glaciology.Research Interests: Fieldbasedmechanistic understanding of the chemical and physicalprocesses that shape the Earth’s surface and controlchemical denudation rates. Current focuses include studyingthe effect of glaciers on chemical weathering rates and theglobal carbon cycle, the linkage between glacier dynamicsand subglacial hydrology, glacier outburst floods (jökulhlaups),and catchment-scale hydrology and hydrochemistry.Specializes in collection of detailed field observations toconstrain models of geomorphic systems.John T. AndrewsFellow of INSTAAR; Professorof Geological Sciences,University of Colorado atBoulder; Fellow of NorwegianAcademy of Science andLetters. PhD: 1965;DSc: 1978, University ofNottingham, U.K.Specialty: Glacial andmarine sedimentology andchronologies, high-resolution marine studies.Research Interests: Late Quaternary history of ice sheet/ocean interactions and abrupt climate change during thelast 10,000 to 40,000 yrs. Identification of iceberg raftingevents. Detailed study of the paleoceanography of the EastGreenland and Iceland margins on Holocene time scales.John C. BehrendtFellow of INSTAAR. PhD:1961, University ofWisconsin, Madison.Specialty: Antarctic andmarine geophysics,glaciology.Research Interests:Presently studying lithosphericcontrols on the behavior ofthe West Antarctic Ice Sheet.Also investigating the tectonics of the West Antarctic riftsystem including the continental margin. Deep crustal seismicinvestigations of continental rifts and rifted continentalmargins. Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake studies.Atlantic continental margins of U.S. and West Africa. Useof gravity and aeromagnetic surveys to investigate continentaltectonics.Patrick S. BourgeronFellow of INSTAAR. PhD:1978, University DenisDiderot (formerly Paris 7),Paris, France.Specialty: Ecosystem, landscape,and plant ecology;statistical and numericalmodeling; biological diversity.Research Interests:42 | PEOPLE

Nelson CaineFellow of INSTAAR; Professorof Geography, University ofColorado at Boulder. PhD:1966, Australian NationalUniversity.Specialty: Geomorphologyand hydrology.Research Interests:Present-day processes of erosionand sedimentation inmountain environments. This includes studies of snowhydrology, streamflow generation, and sediment transport.It incorporates work on periglacial processes, mountain permafrost,and hillslope processes.Cory ClevelandResearch Scientist ofINSTAAR. PhD: 2001,University of Colorado atBoulder.Specialty: Terrestrial biogeochemistry.Research Interests: Howthe cycles of biologicallyimportant elements are mediatedby soil microorganismsin terrestrial ecosystems, and how soil biogeochemicalprocesses and soil microorganisms are being influenced byglobal change.E. James DixonFellow of INSTAAR; Professorof Anthropology; Curator ofMuseum and Field Studies,University of Colorado atBoulder. PhD: 1979, BrownUniversity.Specialty: Archeology.Research Interests: Highlatitude/high altitude humanadaptations, circumpolarand paleoindian archeology, Quaternary science and geoarcheology.Mark B. DyurgerovFellow of INSTAAR; SeniorScientist and Professor ofInstitute of Geography,Russian Academy ofSciences. PhD: 1974,Moscow State University;Doctor of Science: 1990,Institute of Geography,Russian Academy ofSciences.Specialty: Glaciology and terrestrial hydrology.Research Interests: Mountain glaciers and ice caps inrelation to climate change and the global-water cycle, glaciermass balance monitoring, spatial and temporal distributionof glacier properties, measurement methods for glacier massbalance and runoff, all aspects of glacier regime and meltwaterproduction worldwide, with particular emphasis inthe Arctic, Alaska, and Central Asia.Detlev HelmigFellow and AssociateResearch Professor ofINSTAAR, University ofColorado at Boulder. PhD:1989, University of Duisburg,Germany.Specialty: Surface-atmosphereinteractions, atmosphericchemistry and transport,atmospheric measurementtechniques, polar atmospheric chemistry, oceanic gasfluxes.Research Interests: Biosphere-atmosphere trace gas fluxesand their environmental controls, in particular emissions ofbiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) from vegetation;atmospheric transport; deposition processes andatmospheric chemistry; polar snow-atmosphere gasexchange processes; development, development, and applicationof analytical tools for field research; urban atmospheresand hazardous pollution; intercontinental atmospherictransport.PEOPLE | 43
