Dr. Daniel Bedford is a Professor in the Department of Geography at Weber State University. He holds a Ph.D. (1997) and M.A. (1992) from the University of Colorado-Boulder, and a B.A. (1989) from Oxford University. His research focuses on climate science, particularly the weather and climate influences of the Great Salt Lake, and the intersection of climate literacy with education.
He has taught courses on weather/climate systems, Arctic and Alpine environments, environmental geography, and research methodologies at Weber State University, Middlebury College, and the University of Colorado-Boulder. His teaching emphasizes physical geography, environmental systems, and climate change communication.
Bedford's publications explore climate literacy, agnotology (the study of culturally induced ignorance), and the societal impacts of climate change. His work critiques climate misinformation and advocates for evidence-based environmental education. Notable studies include analyses of the Great Salt Lake's hydrological changes and the pedagogical value of addressing climate misinformation.
His advising activities and research grants (not explicitly listed here) likely align with his focus on climate science education and environmental systems. Bedford contributes to interdisciplinary discussions on sustainability through his academic roles and publications in journals like Journal of Geography and Science and Education.
