The study’s lead author, Jessica Tierney, is an assistant scientist in WHOI’s Geology and Geophysics Department. Her research focuses on how molecules preserved sediment cores from lakes and oceans can help us understand past climate change. “Just as history informs us about human behavior, paleoclimate informs us about the nature of climate change on Earth,” says Tierney.
