Mentor: B.B. Cael, Assistant Professor, Geophysical Sciences
Rafe Knight is rising fourth year in the college studying Math and Geophysical Sciences. His interests involve applying idealized mathematical models to paleoclimate. He is particularly interested in the dynamics of the carbon cycle when perturbed from steady state and the carbonate buffer system. He is working with Professor B.B. Cael to constrain the weathering sensitivity over the Cenozoic and the broader Phanerozoic.
