Hi! I'm Elke Zeller,

a climate scientist and postdoctoral scholar at the University of Arizona in Dr. Jessica Tierney’s paleoclimatology lab/group. I'm interested in understanding interactions between vegetation, climate, and ecosystems. My primary research projects are the impact of vegetation on extreme paleoweather events and the ability of early humans (hominins) to adapt to past ecosystems.

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of outdoor hobbies such as hiking, camping, cycling, skiing, diving, and sailing.
