As vice president and vice provost, Schlosser oversees the research, academics and operations of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory[2] and the College of Global Futures. He is also co-chair of The Earth League with Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. His research and teaching now focuses on planetary systems and options for healthy global futures.[3]

Education

edit

Schlosser received a Master of Science in Physics from the University of Heidelberg in 1981, followed by a Doctor of Philosophy degree in physics from the same university in 1985.[4] He conducted his thesis work in physics under advisors Wolfgang Roether[5] and Karl Otto Munnich.[6]

Career

edit

Schlosser specializes in water movement and variability for both groundwater and oceans, and has contributed to hydrology and environmental physics since the 1980s.[7][8]

In 1988, Schlosser and his colleagues established the first theoretical model for using the combination of tritium and tritiogenic helium for shallow groundwater dating.[9] Schlosser's further work identifying isotopes and anthropogenic trace substances in groundwater,[10][11] the Arctic Ocean, and Weddell Seas led to insights about human impact across planetary systems.[12][13][14]

Field Research

edit

Schlosser has conducted research from the Arctic Ocean to the ice shelves of Antarctica. His field experience includes research conducted in the Atlantic Ocean (1979, 1981), Arctic Ocean (1987, 1991), Weddell Sea (1985, 1986), Southern Ocean (1990) and Hudson River (2001-2004).[15] He has acted as co-chair of five of four Arctic Observing Summits (2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020) and has been co-chair of the Science Steering Group, ISAC International Study of Arctic Change since 2010.[15]

Publications

edit

Schlosser has published hundreds of articles in the fields of oceanography, hydrology, and paleoclimatolgy, among others. His work has been cited more than 16,000 times.[16]
