Daniel Horton
Associate Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences
Professor Horton leads the Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) at Northwestern University. The CCRG uses numerical models, environmental observations, statistical analyses, and machine learning techniques to ask questions pertinent to Earth’s (and other planets’) climates. The CCRG studies an array of subjects across diverse spatiotemporal scales, including (i) extreme weather events, (ii) near-term meteorological, societal, and public health impacts of anthropogenic climate change, (iii) the co-benefits and tradeoffs of green infrastructure and transportation initiatives, (iv) the evolution of Earth’s climate system through geologic time, and (v) the potential habitability of planets outside of our solar system.
