David Archer

David Archer has been a Professor in the Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago since 1993. Dr. Archer has published over 70 scientific papers on a wide range of topics within the global carbon cycle and its relation to global climate. He teaches classes on global warming, environmental chemistry, and geochemistry. He has written a textbook for non-science-major undergraduates called Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast, and is currently working on a book for a lay audience putting the global warming climate event into the context of geologic time in the past and the future, to be published by Princeton University Press, and another book with coauthor Stefan Rahmstorf that will be an “unofficial guide” to the IPCC Fourth Scientific Assessment Report, to be published by Cambridge University Press.
