Protected: Whither the Oceans in Climate Change negotiations?

Written by Jeff Niemitz

Jeff has been a professor of Earth Sciences at Dickinson College for 37 years where he teaches Global Climate Change and the Chemistry of Earth Systems. His main research interests have been using trace element geochemistry to answer environmental problems being affected by climate change. Mainly he works in streams (modern) and lakes (ancient) to find clues to environmental change caused by climate or human-induced land-use change. As an observer at the COP-17 in Durban, South Africa, Jeff is looking forward to a renewed sense of hope for those who will experience climate change effects soon.
