Dr. Bryce Mitsunaga
Post-Doctoral Fellow
I am an organic and carbonate isotope geochemist who studies Earth's thousand- to million-year climate cycles, specifically how changes in ocean temperatures and circulation drive terrestrial hydrology (e.g., monsoons) and ecology. My current research involves how all the water and carbon cycles interact drove fire and the human settlement of North Africa; the terrestrial Ibero-African response to the Messinian Salinity Crisis; the (isotope) geochemical characteristics of New England offshore aquifers from the last ice age; and more. I come to HEB via a PhD from Brown University.
