234. Paleoclimate modeling
Sat Nov 24, 2012, 07:17 PM
Nov 2012

My research focus was on interaction of organismal metabolism with Middle Cambrian O2 concentration.

And the ph.d itself was in another field, not in climate science. I'd tell you that field but that info coupled with the other post and this one would probably be able to positively ID me down to two or three other people.
