Paleoclimatologist, Science Advisor
Earth Sciences New Zealand and Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington
Richard Levy is a Professor and Principal Scientist. He is a glacial stratigrapher and paleoclimatologist with expertise in microfossil analysis. His research primarily focuses on the evolution of Earth’s climate system over the past 40 million years in the mid to high southern latitudes.
During Phase 1 of the Antarctic Science Platform, Richard worked with numerical climate and ice sheet modellers to integrate paleoenvironmental data with model simulations. They were working to improve understanding of the processes that control and drive environmental change, and the sea level rise impacts of ice melt in Antarctica. In Phase 2 Richard is a Science Advisor for the entire platform.
