Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaylor Fox-Kemper is a professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where he studies the physics of the ocean and its role in the Earth's climate system. His research spans global climate models to focused process models, developing parameterizations, diagnostics, and accurate emulators that translate complex dynamics into usable insights. He combines high-cost computational models with remote or autonomous observations to derive simple yet accurate approximations and crucial diagnoses of ocean processes, including waves and turbulence. He served as Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC from 2018 to 2021, shaping the scientific basis for international climate assessments. He joined Brown in 2013 and progressed from assistant professor to professor by 2020, reflecting a steady track of research growth and teaching leadership. He holds a BA in Physics from Reed College and a PhD in Physical Oceanography from MIT/Woods Hole, underscoring a rigorous blend of theory and applied oceanography.
