Dr.
Timothy Kittel is a research ecologist and climate
scientist. After receiving his PhD in Ecology from the
University of California, Davis, he was a Postdoctoral
Fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the
Atmosphere, Colorado State University, Ft.
Collins. Dr. Kittel has since held research
positions at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (Colorado State
University), the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research (UCAR), and the National Center for Atmospheric Research
(NCAR), before joining the research faculty of the
Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of
Colorado, Boulder, in 2004.
Dr. Kittel has worked for over 35 years in the field of
global change science, with contributions to our
understanding of climate-biosphere interactions and
historical climatic change and to the modeling of
regional ecosystem and climate dynamics. Dr. Kittel's work
on climate change impacts has been included in IPCC and US
National Assessments. His current research is on approaches for
handling climate change uncertainty in biodiversity
conservation and on the nature of recent climate change
in high mountain regions. Dr. Kittel has
more than 90 peer-reviewed peer-reviewed articles, book
chapters, and edited books in ecology and climate
dynamics, along with more than 40 climatic and ecological
public-access datasets. He is Editor-in-Chief for
the journal Climate.
Dr. Kittel's
teaching emphasizes field instruction in ecology and
conservation biology. He has taught field courses
for the University of Colorado-Boulder, Columbia
University of New York, University of Nevada-Las Vegas,
and Semester-at-Sea. He currently teaches Winter
Field Ecology and Field Methods in Vegetation Ecology in
the Colorado Rocky Mountains and a study abroad course
on Conservation in Practice in Brazil's
Atlantic Forest.
