Colorado State University
Scott Denning received his bachelor's degree in geological sciences from the University of Maine in 1984, and his master's and Ph.D. degrees in atmospheric science from Colorado State University in 1993 and 1994. He studied radiometric geochronology, surface water geochemistry and mountain hydrology before becoming interested in global climate and biogeochemical dynamics. After a two-year postdoctoral appointment modeling global sources and sinks of atmospheric CO2, he spent two years as an assistant professor in the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
