Kimberly Huppert

Kimberly Huppert is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Science at the City College of New York (CCNY). She is affiliated with the CUNY-CREST Institute, Earth System Science and Environmental Engineering, and the Sustainability in the Urban Environment program. Her research focuses on geodynamics and geomorphology, particularly how Earth's surface evolves through erosion, tectonics, and climate interactions. She employs mathematical modeling, field observations, geochemistry, and remote sensing to study landscape dynamics and climate influences on erosion rates.

Her research group, the Earth Surface Dynamics team, investigates mountain range and coastal evolution across spatial and temporal scales. The group aims to decode past climatic conditions and predict future changes using topographic and sedimentary data. Huppert's work emphasizes quantifying climate's role in shaping landscapes and understanding modern environmental changes through geological records.

She is based in the Marshak Science Building and leads educational initiatives in geoscience. No specific awards or grants are listed, though her active research group suggests ongoing projects. Her email and website provide further details for collaboration or inquiry.
