Luke Gloege

Postdoctoral Research Associate

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate based at Yale University. My research focuses on understanding changes in the global carbon cycle using models, machine learning, and observations. Current research uses machine learning to emulate ocean alkainty enhancement (OAE) intervention simulations. I am particularly interested in how biology and physics mediate the spatial patterns of nutrients and pCO2 to understand how the climate and ecosystems change over time. This work can lead to efficient managment efforts in large lakes/oceans and reduce uncertainty in the global carbon budget.

# Experience

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Yale University

Supervisor: Matthew Eisaman

My research focuses on emulating ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) interventions simulations using machine learning.

January 2024 - Present

Climate Data Engineer

Open Earth Foundation

Supervisor: Evan Prodromou

I collaborated on open source projects including a climate accounting system and an app to help cities track their emissions.

November 2022 - December 2023

NASA Postdoctoral Fellow

NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

Supervisor: Anastasia Romanou

My research focuses on understanding changes in the ocean carbon cycle using coupled ocean-atmosphere models and machine learning.

December 2021 - November 2022

Postdoctoral Research Scholar

Columbia University in the City of New York

Supervisor: Pierre Gentine

I focused on the 2020 Siberian heatwave. Positive temperature anomalies over Siberia caused early snowmelt, leading to substantial earlier vegetation greening accompanied by decreased soil moisture and browning in the summer.

March 2020 - November 2021
