Martin Ziegler
Martin Ziegler is an Associate Professor of Paleoclimatology at Utrecht University, specializing in the use of geochemical proxies to reconstruct past climate and ocean conditions. He earned his PhD at Utrecht in 2009, focusing on orbital-scale climate variability and monsoon dynamics. Following postdoctoral research at Columbia University, Cardiff University, and ETH Zürich, he returned to Utrecht in 2015, where he leads research on stable and clumped isotope geochemistry. His work has advanced understanding of Earth’s past climate transitions, including ocean circulation shifts, monsoon variability, and greenhouse climate dynamics. His current research is focused on reconstructing past temperatures in diverse environmental settings to improve estimates of climate sensitivity.
