OSU Ice Core & Quaternary Geochemistry Lab
Ed Brook is the director of COLDEX, an NSF Science and Technology Center formed in 2021 that is in search of the oldest ice in Antarctica. The main goal of this work is to extend the continuous ice core record to at least 1.5 million years, in order to grow our understanding of how the earth responded during warmer periods.
Lab: Burt 280 and 282
The primary motivation behind my research is to understand how natural and anthropogenic forces influence plankton community structure and trophic interactions in marine pelagic ecosystems. My research focus is in the area of polar zooplankton ecology.

I am an instructor for both the atmospheric sciences and the geography programs. I do not currently accept graduate students.
My previous research specialized in large-scale atmospheric circulation and dynamics; present and future climatology; and global and regional climate modeling and statistical analysis.
