Gisela Winckler

Principal Investigator

I am a Lamont Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory where I also serve as the Associate Director of the Geochemistry Division. 

I am a climate scientist, and my current research focus is on the interplay of climate change, the carbon cycle and aerosols. As an environmental physicist and isotope geochemist I use elemental and isotopic analyses (noble gases, U-Th series, cosmogenic and radiogenic isotopes), to unravel processes of climate and environmental change in the oceans and on continents, on timescales ranging from decades to tens of millions of years. My research uses climate archives such as deep-sea sediments, lake sediments and polar ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland. My group’s reconstructions of past climates contribute to understanding the climate system’s sensitivity to natural variability and anthropogenic perturbations.

In 2019, I co-led a 2-month expedition on the international drill ship Joides Resolution to the Southern Ocean to study the role of the Southern Ocean and the ocean’s most powerful current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, in the global climate system and how an improved understanding of the Southern Ocean processes can help us tackle the climate crisis.

I am passionate about mentoring graduate students and postdocs, and I am a recent recipient of the LDEO Excellence in Mentoring Award. I teach in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and serve as the ‘Climate Scientist in Residence’ at Columbia’s Journalism School.

I am engaged in the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) space. In 2020/2021, I served as the co-chair of the Lamont Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Force, and co-taught a gradation student-initiated seminar on Climate Change, Race and Environmental Justice.   

I serve on the Advisory Council of the Climate Museum where I am engaged in science communication and outreach, and supporting active engagement with the climate emergency.
