David Archer (scientist)

David Archer is a computational ocean chemist,^[1] and has been a Professor at the Department of The Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago since 1993.^[2] He has published research on the carbon cycle of the ocean and the sea floor. He has worked on the history of atmospheric CO₂ concentration, the fate of fossil fuel CO₂ over geologic time scales in the future, and the impact of CO₂ on future ice age cycles, ocean methane hydrate decomposition, and coral reefs.^[1]

He is a contributor to the blog RealClimate.^[1]

Teaching responsibilities

He teaches classes on global warming, environmental chemistry, and global geochemical cycles.^[2]

Education

He obtained his Ph.D from the University of Washington in 1990.^[2]

Example papers

• Atmospheric lifetime of fossil-fuel carbon dioxide^[3]
• Lowering of glacial atmospheric CO₂ in response to changes in oceanic circulation and maring biogeochemistry^[4]
• Long term fate of anthropogenic carbon^[5]
• Subsurface ocean argon disequilibrium reveals the equatorial Pacific shadow zone,^[6] 2006.
• A movable trigger: Fossil fuel CO₂ and the onset of the next glaciation^[7]
• Time-dependent response of the global ocean clathrate reservoir to climatic and anthropogenic forcing^[8]
• Fate of fossil fuel CO₂ in geologic time^[9]
• Model sensitivity in the effect of Antarctic sea ice and stratification on atmospheric pCO₂^[10]
