Jerry McManus

Jerry McManus is a Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences and a paleoceanographer. His research includes using deep-sea sediments to reconstruct past changes in the Earth’s climate and the large-scale ocean circulation, with a special focus on the role that the ocean plays in abrupt climate change. He has spent nearly a year of his life at sea and is involved in research projects in far-flung locales in every ocean basin. After 10 years at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, he returned to Columbia and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in 2008.
