Professor and Depeatment Head, Department of Geosciences
Julie Brigham-Grette was first inspired by Larry Taylor to study glacial geology and paleoclimates during an undergraduate Pleistocene course at Albion College back in the mid-1970s. Field trips to bluff exposures of interstratified tills and lacustrine deposits along Lake Michigan secured her fate as a Quaternary stratigrapher. Her graduate work was completed in the Dept of Geosciences, University of Colorado back in what seems like the late Holocene. After post-doctoral work at the University of Bergen, Norway and the University of Alberta, Canada, Brigham-Grette joined the faculty at the University of Massachusetts in the Fall of 1987
As a member of the Climate System Research Center, Julie’s research is concerned with late Cenozoic marine and non-marine stratigraphic problems in Arctic regions and in regional correlations and paleoclimate reconstructions, especially across Arctic North America and eastern Russia. Long-range research interests are in the paleogeography and sea level history of the Bering Strait region and seas, the circum- Arctic coast, Arctic climate evolution since the Miocene. She is also involved with research on the deglacial history of New England.
