He has had a distinguished career in paleoclimatology and climate change research, holding faculty positions at major research universities. He is known for his work on abrupt climate change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Relevance to Research
The April 20, 1979 issue of The Spectator lists Overpeck in a campus events calendar as the presenter of a Senior Fellow Public Lecture, scheduled for Thursday evening in Dwight Lounge, Bristol Campus Center. The listing identifies him as “Jonathan Overpeck ‘79,” indicating it was delivered near the end of his senior year.
Notes
The corpus mention is a brief event listing with no description of the lecture’s content. The identification as a Senior Fellow suggests he was selected for a distinguished student research or fellowship program at Hamilton.
