Will Rush

  • Postdoctoral Research Associate
  • CIRES

Currently an Assistant Professor at Santa Clara University (8/2023) ~~~ Brief Bio: Soon-to-be-Dr. Will Rush will join the Oceans and Climate Lab in Fall 2022 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate through a collaborative grant from the NSF Paleo Perspectives on Climate Change (P2C2) program. Will is currently completing his Ph.D. in Earth Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, where his research is focused on the interface between climate model analysis and paleoclimate proxy interpretation, primarily focused on hydroclimatic changes. This fall, Will will join a collaborative team of researchers at CIRES, Yale (Juan Lora), WHOI (Alan Seltzer), and NOAA (Dillon Amaya) to investigate the influence of ice sheets and ocean-atmosphere interaction on the hydroclimate of the western United States during the Last Glacial Maximum, primarily through the use of coupled climate model simulations.
