David Edward Archer (born September 15, 1960) is a computational ocean chemist,{{cite web| url=http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/david-archer/ |title=David Archer|work=RealClimate|date=6 December 2004 |accessdate=6 December 2009}} and has been a professor at the Geophysical Sciences department at the University of Chicago since 1993.{{cite web|url=http://geosci.uchicago.edu/people/archer.shtml|title=David Archer|work=University of Chicago Website|accessdate=6 December 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100310071145/http://geosci.uchicago.edu/people/archer.shtml|archive-date=10 March 2010|url-status=dead}} He has published research on the carbon cycle of the ocean and the sea floor. He has worked on the history of atmospheric {{CO2|link=yes}} concentration, the expectation of fossil fuel {{CO2}} over geologic time scales in the future, and the impact of {{CO2}} on future ice age cycles, ocean methane hydrate decomposition, and coral reefs. Archer is a contributor to the RealClimate blog.
Teaching responsibilities
He teaches classes on global warming, environmental chemistry, and global geochemical cycles. He is the author of Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast, an introductory textbook on the environmental sciences for non-science undergraduates.{{Cite web|title=Geophysical Sciences|url=https://geosci.uchicago.edu/people/david-archer/|access-date=2020-11-26|website=geosci.uchicago.edu|language=en}}
