Biography
David Goldberg is a marine scientist and his interests focus on the integration of different technologies and cross-disciplinary approaches to develop achievable climate solutions. Goldberg researches oceanic and continental basalt deposits as long-term repositories for anthropogenic carbon dioxide, potentially sequestering carbon that has been removed from the air. His study areas include the Cascadia abyssal plain in the eastern Pacific, the Long Island Platform in the northwestern Atlantic, and onshore Mesozoic basins along the eastern Appalachian mountains. Goldberg also currently serves as a core faculty member for the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at Columbia and an Associate Director of the Earth Institute’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University.
