Life and work
Peter Huybers received a B.S. in physics in 1996 from the United
States Military Academy at West Point, and a Ph.D. in climate
chemistry and physics from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 2004. He was a NOAA Postdoctoral Fellow in Climate
and
Global Change in the Geology and Geophysics Department at Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution from 2004-2006.
Huybers has multiple research interests related to climate
science. First, Huybers is investigating the long-term climate
cycles. He has
advanced the hypothesis that a 41,000 year period of change
connected to the Earth's tilt on its axis is dominant during the
past 800,000years, and that every second or third of these cycles
produce a major deglaciation event. This deglaciation also appears
to trigger
changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, perhaps in part coming
from radically increased volcanic activity during deglaciation.
Second, he
is studying annual temperature variations. Finally, Huybers is
developing models to estimate historic temperatures based on the
limited
evidence available to us.
Huybers has published in Science, Nature, Geophysical Research
Letters, Quaternary Science Reviews, Paleoceanography, Climate
of
the Pastand the Journal of Physical Oceanography.
After completing West Point, his military career included
leading a tank platoon as part of peacekeeping operations inBosnia
and testing
technologies to reduce fratricide at the Mounted Warfare Testbed
at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Huybers is married to Downing Lu, a
military
physician assigned to the pediatric intensive care unit at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center. [3]
Awards
He is the recipient of multiple awards, including a MacArthur
Foundation Fellowship in 2009,[4] a Packard Fellowship for Science
and
Engineering in 2009, the AGU James B. Macelwane Medal in
2009,[5] a Harvard University Center for the Environment Fellowship
in 2005,
the MIT Carl-Gustaf Rossby Prize in 2004, and a National Defense
Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship in 2001.
