Welcome! The Climate, Water, and Energy lab is headed by Dr. Sylvia Dee, a climate scientist specializing in atmospheric modeling, water isotope physics, and paleoclimate data-model comparison.
Our research combines climate information from the Past and Present to improve predictions of Future climate.
Our work focuses on strategies for linking data from general circulation models, satellite retrievals of stable water isotope ratios, and high-resolution paleoclimate observations such as ice cores, tree rings, and corals.
This year, we welcomed postdocs Dr. Allison Lawman and Dr. Lizzie Wallace, as well as Ph.D. student Charlie Marshall to the lab! We're looking forward to welcoming Kelsey Murphy, a new Ph.D. student who will join our lab in August 2021!
Please contact sylvia.dee@rice.edu for information about Ph.D. and postdoc positions.
Dr. Dee recently was invited as a climate panelist for the Princeton Environmental Institute's 25th Anniversary Forum.
