Eli Tziperman is the Pamela and Vasco McCoy, Jr. Professor of Oceanography and Applied Physics at Harvard University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, affiliated with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on physical oceanography, climate dynamics, and geophysical fluid dynamics, with emphasis on El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mechanisms, thermohaline circulation, glacial cycles, and planetary climate systems.
Key research areas include:
- Climate variability and predictability
- Paleoclimatic transitions (e.g., Snowball Earth)
- Ocean-atmosphere interactions
- Ice sheet dynamics and glacial inception
- Exoplanet climate modeling (e.g., Europa's icy shell dynamics)
Recent work explores the suppression of cold weather events in warm climates, stratospheric dynamics, and interactions between the Madden-Julian Oscillation and sudden stratospheric warmings. His studies often integrate advanced climate models and observational data to uncover nonlinear climate feedback mechanisms.
Notable contributions include foundational work on ENSO's phase locking to the seasonal cycle, mid-Pleistocene transition theories, and the role of sea ice in glacial cycles. His research bridges theoretical fluid dynamics with applied climate science.
