Antarctic research work by Eugene Domack, the Joel W. Johnson Family Professor of Geosciences, is cited in a new book, Earth under Fire: How Global Warming is Changing the World, by Gary Braasch (University of California Press). Published in late 2007, it is a comprehensive look at the worldwide effects of climate change. The book includes Domack's research work at Antarctica's Larsen Ice shelf in 2002. Braasch also accompanied Domack to Larsen in 1999.
Jonathan Overpeck '79 contributed an essay, titled "Polar Thaw," to the book.
Domack is also a contributor to a forthcoming book for fifth graders titled How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate: Scientists -- and Kids -- Explore Global Warming, by Lynne Cherry and Braasch.
Domack, who joined Hamilton College in 1985, studies the paleohistory of Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf. His research has focused on understanding how Antarctica's climate had varied over the past hundreds and thousands of years and how those changes shaped the continent, particularly its ice shelves. Since 1987, Domack has taken more than 100 undergraduates to Antarctica from Hamilton and other colleges and universities.
