Timothy James Bralower is an American micropaleontologist and professor of Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on abrupt climate change and mass extinction[1]. He has authored or co-authored over 150 scientific publications. He has participated in five expeditions with the International Ocean Discovery Program to the Caribbean Sea, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and served as co-chief scientist of Leg 198 in the Pacific.

Academic Background[edit]

Bralower received a BA in Geology from the University of Oxford in 1980, an MS in Oceanography (1982), and a PhD in Earth Science (1986) from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. He joined the faculty of Florida International University in 1987, then the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1990. Bralower served as Department Chair of Geological Sciences from 1998-2002 before joining the Department of Geosciences at The Pennsylvania State University where he served as Department Head from 2003-2011. In 2011-2012 Bralower was a Visiting Professor at the University of New South Wales.[2]
