I am currently leading an Earth System group at NTNU with a major focus on field and remote-sensed observations and numerical modeling of changes in glaciers and hydrology in Europe and Central Asia, including the development of early warning systems for glacial lake outburst floods. Since 2014, I have also acted as a principal investigator on international paleoglaciology projects focusing on reconstructions of past glaciations in Central Asia and Antarctica. Prior to my move to Norway, I was working with paleoclimate model reconstructions spanning the last deglaciation using coupled ice sheet-Earth System modeling at the University of Bremen and with ice sheet and geodynamic modeling at the German Research Centre for Geosciences. Finally, my undergraduate and graduate research revolved around pattern recognition techniques and development of geodynamic models.

Russell studies Earth's past climate using geochemical proxies from cave deposits (speleothems). He is part of the University of Melbourne’s Speleothem Science Research Group (www.speleothemscience.org). His current research focuses on the nature and causes of major climate transitions during the Quaternary Period, especially glacial terminations and abrupt 'millennial-scale' climate events. He is particularly interested in how these events play out regionally and across the globe, and what forces these changes. Russell works closely with oceanographers, ice-core scientists and palaeoclimate modellers to resolve these problems. Russell runs a fully equipped microsampling and stable-isotope laboratory dedicated to speleothem research. This lab complements the excellent suite of analytical instruments housed in the School of Earth Sciences. The stable-isotope lab has two Analytical Precision AP2003 continuous-flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometers (C and O isotopes in carbonates); a Picarro CDR isotope analyser for measuring O and H isotopes in waters; and a Nu Instruments Perspective dual-inlet mass spectrometer for measuring small-sample (50 ug) conventional C and O isotopes as well as clumped-isotopes (delta-47) on carbonates (sample size ~500 ug). Russell welcomes enquiries from colleagues and their graduate students interested in running samples in his lab. To get a feel for some of Russell's recent work on cutting-edge advances in palaeoclimatology and geochemistry, see: Drysdale et al. (2019) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta; Drysdale et al. (2020) Nature Communications; Bajo et al. (2020) Science; Corrick et al. (2020) Science; Tzedakis et al. (2018) Nature Communications; and Daëron et al. (2019) Nature Communications.

I have over 15 years’ experience of working in Africa, Australia, and the UK on water-related issues, such as water quality, water quantity and how degradation in water supplies impact ecosystem and human health. My particular expertise is concerned with the application of palaeolimnology, bridging the gap between the ecological present and the past to assess the resilience of aquatic systems to increasing pressures from human activity, including modification and pollution, coupled with future projections in climate change. I currently work as part of the British Geological Survey's Global Team delivering the BGS’ Official Development Assistance programme “Geoscience for Sustainable Futures”. Working across research themes (including integrated natural resource management in eastern Africa, developing geoscience in urban settings, and global hazards and risks) I facilitate the co-development of projects that provide applied geoscience solutions to challenges linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. My role also includes overseeing the impact of the ODA programme using a Theory of Change approach.

After I took my PhD in dynamical systems theory at the University of Bremen, I turned to the physics of the climate system as my field of research. In the beginning of my career, my focus was on the study of the Quaternary glacial cycles using low-dimensional atmosphere and ice-sheet models. Later I focused on the simulation of the glacial ocean circulation and the comparison to paleo-proxy data from deep-sea sediments. Over time, I gained a broad expertise in numerical climate modelling, using coupled atmosphere-ocean, ice-sheet, marine biogeochemical and vegetation models. Recently, I developed a strong interest in ocean parameter and state estimation techniques to combine numerical models and observations in a systematic way.

I am a paleoceanographer with special expertise in planktonic foraminifera and stable isotope data, but have also worked on radiocarbon dating and tephrachronology. In addition, I am using foraminiferal or coccolith trace element records or grain size data for paleo-reconstructions. My career started with studying the millennial-scale Greenland stadial/ interstadial cycles as reflected in deep-sea sediment records and I contributed my knowledge and data to the INTegrating Ice core, MArine and TErrestrial records (INTIMATE) COST Action. More recently, I am studying centennial-to-orbital scale climate variations and their impacts on the thermohaline circulation in time intervals ranging from the recent past to the Pliocene. Currently, my research is mainly focused on the early to middle Pleistocene (640-1900 ka) and the early Pliocene (3.5 – 5.3 Ma). I am, furthermore, interested in seawater stable isotope data and how they reflect hydrographic and climatic changes, with focus on the North Atlantic.
