Matthew Huber

Professor, Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Department, Purdue University

Email – huberm@purdue.edu

Research Interests: Paleoclimate, tropical cyclones, heat waves, food-energy-water security, sustainability

Prof Huber studies how heat and water move around in the climate system both in the past and future. His aim is to better understand and predict polar amplification of climate change, tropical temperature constraints, climate sensitivity to greenhouse gas forcing, the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems, and ultimately to provide solutions to the complex problems society faces.
