Dr. Tim Patterson is Professor of Geology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. He uses microfossils and geochemistry to study evidence of climate change in lake and oceanic sediments.

Dr. Patterson is Canadian leader of the International Geological Correlation Program Project 437 "Coastal Environmental Changes during Sea-Level Highstands in the late Quaternary" and is Principal Investigator of a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Strategic Project studying the effect of past climate change (on scales varying from seasonal to millennia) on fish populations that are important to the west coast fishing industry.

Dr. Patterson completed his PhD in Micropaleotology in 1986 at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
