Assistant Professor of Physical Sciences, Dr. Tom Whittaker leverages his passion for studying geoscience and data science to design and deliver meaningful and engaging learning experiences to students across all Unity at Pineland programs. He regularly offers opportunities for students to join him in participating in long-term environmental monitoring projects, gaining experience with undertaking and leading scientific activities in field-based settings. Currently, he is working with students on: developing Unity’s climate monitoring capabilities, expanding our understanding of the campus’ biodiversity, and using stable isotope geochemistry to answer questions about precipitation moisture source regions and climate change.
