Dr. Andrew Kemp is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Climate Sciences at Tufts University and currently serves as the Interim Director of Environmental Studies. His research focuses on reconstructing relative sea-level changes over the past 2000 years using interdisciplinary methods such as coastal stratigraphy, geochemical proxies, and advanced dating techniques. His work aims to understand sea-level responses to historical climate events like the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age, providing critical data for IPCC climate projections and coastal management strategies.
Dr. Kemp holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania (2009) and a BSc from Durham University (2002). His research emphasizes the interplay between physical processes driving sea-level changes and the societal implications of future projections. He collaborates globally, with recent studies in locations like Newfoundland, Florida, and Remote Oceania, addressing regional sea-level variability and subsidence dynamics.
His key contributions include statistical modeling frameworks for sea-level trends, replication of regional sea-level histories, and assessments of coastal vulnerability under climate change scenarios. Kemp's work bridges geology, climatology, and policy, with implications for urban resilience and environmental conservation.
