Antarctic Peninsula Climate Variability

Eugene Walter Domack was an American geologist. Born in Milwaukee to Benjamin and Vivian Domack, Eugene Domack obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed graduate studies at Rice University. Amy Leventer is an American Antarctic researcher specialising in micropaleontology, with specific research interests in marine geology, marine biology, and climate change. Leventer has made over a dozen journeys to the Antarctic, which began at the age of 24 and led to the pursuit of her PhD.
