Paul Zander, PhD

I'm an earth scientist and paleoclimate researcher interested in understanding how the climate and environment have changed in the past to better understand possible future changes. 

​

I've always been curious about why things are the way they are in nature, and that has continued in my career as a researcher. The thing I love most about working with lake sediments is that the work is incredibly interdisciplinary. I utilize methods and knowledge from the fields of geology, chemistry, ecology, climate science, hydrology, and environmental science.

 

Born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, California, I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. After two years of working at the University of Arizona in Tucson, I moved to Switzerland to do a PhD in Climate Sciences at the University of Bern. Currently, I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany.
