Dr. Madeleine Vickers is a Research Fellow at the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University, supported by the Kempe Foundation. She is part of the HotSeas project investigating the Nordic Seas' climate dynamics during the early Paleogene greenhouse. Her research focuses on resolving discrepancies between temperature proxies in marine environments and understanding short-term climate fluctuations in Earth's past high-CO2 periods. Key areas include paleoclimatology, geochemistry, and Arctic climate archives.
Her work combines field studies in Svalbard and Alaska with lab analyses of glendonites, ikaite pseudomorphs, and belemnite fossils to reconstruct ancient climates. Recent projects emphasize the role of volcanism and tectonics in driving climate variability, particularly in the Arctic.
Publications highlight her contributions to understanding millennial-scale cooling events, Cretaceous stratigraphy, and geochemical markers of environmental change. She collaborates widely on projects like SVALCLIME and the ICDP JET initiative, aiming to integrate geological records with Earth system models.
