Julia Cole's Climate Lab

Welcome! I’m a climate change scientist at the University of Michigan, where I lead a new research lab that focuses on climate and environmental change in systems with large societal impact.

We generate, interpret, and contextualize records of past climate change from corals and caves, to better understand ongoing and future changes.

I’m looking for new graduate students who can combine data generation with quantitative analysis and who want to communicate their work broadly – see my Grad Study page for information on how to apply.

We’re building an experimental reef at the Biosphere 2 in Arizona – learn more here.
