Rebecca Brice, Ph.D.
Becky Brice is an earth systems geographer using tree rings and lake sediments to study paleoclimate, hydroclimatic processes, and the interaction between the climate and human systems. She specializes in dendrochronological reconstructions over the Common Era and her research aims to understand the role of climate variability in changing water resources.
