Matthew Huber is a Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. He holds affiliations with the Purdue Institute for a Sustainable Future (ISF), Atmospheric Science, Geodata Science Initiative, and the Climate Dynamics Prediction Laboratory (CDPL). His academic career includes roles as Editor for journals like Earth System Dynamics and Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems. Huber’s research focuses on paleoclimate modeling, climate change mechanisms, and their impacts on ecosystems.
Education: Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from UC Santa Cruz (2003), M.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from UCLA, B.A. in Geophysics from the University of Chicago.
Research Interests: Paleoclimate modeling, global warming dynamics, extreme weather events, and heat stress. He explores how historical climate systems inform modern and future climate scenarios, particularly focusing on thermal thresholds and human adaptability.
Awards include the University Faculty Scholar distinction (2012-2016), Discover Magazine recognitions for groundbreaking research on tropical cyclones and the Cretaceous-Tertiary impact, and the IBM Scholars Program award. Huber leads initiatives like the Atmospheric Measurement and Prediction Consortium and has mentored numerous graduate students and postdocs, many of whom hold academic and research roles globally.
Key contributions include advancing heat stress metrics, modeling Eocene climate equability, and analyzing Miocene ocean circulation. His work bridges interdisciplinary teams to address climate change impacts across scales.
