Denton’s climate change research profiled by Northwestern’s Medill News Service
University of Maine climatologist George Denton’s decades of research on the role the Southern Hemisphere plays in climate change were highlighted this week in a story by Medill Reports Chicago, part of the Medill News Service at Northwestern University’s Graduate School of Journalism. “We as humans have reached 7 billion and we are living in a world where the climate is changing rapidly. Understanding how ice age climate works will help us understand what is going on now,” Denton told Medill. Brenda Hall, a former student of Denton’s who is now a research collaborator and associate professor at UMaine’s Climate Change Institute, also was cited in the article. “George Denton is well-known for several decades of research concerning the role of the Southern Hemisphere in climate change. This work, has led to fundamental insights into the cause of ice-age terminations and of abrupt climate change,” she said.
