Biography

Mathias Vuille is a climate scientist in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University at Albany. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Bern in Switzerland in 1995 and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on climate change, paleoclimate and major topics in environmental science. His research focuses on tropical paleoclimate and climate change impacts and glacier retreat in the tropical Andes. He has been involved in adaptation projects on behalf of UNESCO, the Interamerican Development Bank and the World Bank, and served as a Senior Fellow for the U.S. State Department’s Program on Energy and Climate Partnerships in the Americas (ECPA). He has served as a contributing author to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as Associate Editor for Geophysical Research Letters, a member of the U.S. National Committee (USNC) for the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) and the Science Leadership Council of the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI). He has participated in expeditions to the Canadian Arctic (Ellesmere Island), Tanzania (Kilimanjaro), Morocco (High Atlas & Sahara Desert), Venezuela (Andes of Merida), Ecuador (Antizana Volcano), Peru (the Cordilleras Blanca and Vilcanota (Quelccaya Ice cap)), Bolivia (Nevados Sajama and Illimani), Chile (Altiplano and Atacama Desert ) and Brazil (caves in the Amazon basin, northeastern and southeastern Brazil). He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles on climate change in South America.
