Specialties of Bette Otto-Bliesner: Bette Otto-Bliesner's research interests are in using computer-based models of Earth's climate to investigate past climate change and climate variability across a wide range of time scales. She is particularly interested in climate change forced naturally over the glacial-interglacial cycles of the last million years.
