Jessica Tierney

Jessica Tierney (born 1982) is a renounced paleoclimatologist who made significant contributions to the paleoclimate field through her work with organic proxies, such as marine sediments[1], mud[2][3], and TEX86[4], to study past climate[5]. Her works were cited 2575 times, including 387 citations of Northern Hemisphere Controls on Tropical Southeast African Climate During the Past 60,000 Years[6].

Academic Career

Tierney's career studying past climate change was driven by her passion for history[5]. Tierney, along with Peter deMenocal and Paul Zander, studied the past climate of the Horn of Africa. They took cores of marine sediment, testing for alkenones, and concluded that about 70,000 years ago this region experienced a change from a wet climate to a dry, cold climate. Tierney and the co-authors determine this climate shift, which coincides with climate change and human activity[1] ,to be the force behind human migration[8][9][10].
