Bärbel Hönisch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in New York. Originally trained as a biologist, she developed an interest in paleoceanography, geochemistry and proxy validation, with special focus on reconstructing past marine carbonate chemistry from foraminifers. Her research includes laboratory culture studies with planctic foraminifers, sediment validation studies and reconstructions of climate change, paleo-pCO2 and ocean acidification on multi-million-year time scales.
