J-DSP/ESE Laboratories for Analyzing Climate Change

Abstract

Linda Hinnov received her B.A. in music theory from Princeton University in 1979, M.A. in geophysics from UT Austin in 1985, and Ph.D. in Earth sciences from Johns Hopkins University in 1994. She worked briefly in the seismic processing industry from 1979-1981, then at the U.S. Naval Observatory on the excitation of Earth's polar motion, and subsequently, on the astronomical forcing of the Earth's paleoclimate system at Johns Hopkins University, where today she is a research professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. She has a longstanding interest in the statistical time series analysis of Earth system signals relating to past global climate change, Earth's rotational-orbital history and tidal evolution.
