From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Esper (born 1968) studied
geography at the
University of Bonn, where he later earned his doctorate. After a postdoc position at
Columbia University in New York City, he continued his work on
dendrochronology at the
Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), and qualified as a professor at the
University of Bern. In 2018, Esper became a member of the
Academy of Sciences and Literature. Since 2010, he has been a professor at the Department of Geography at
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

Esper's research focuses on
global climate change,
paleoclimate,
urban climate and
dendrochronology. In 2020, he received the
European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant to improve climate reconstructions from tree rings.
[2] His research has notably included
hockey stick graph temperature reconstructions.
