John (Jack) Williams is Professor in Geography and a former director of the Center for Climatic Research at UW-Madison. He studies climate change and ecosystem responses to changing climates, using the end of the last ice age as a model system for understanding the effects of large global rises in temperature. His work ranges from fieldwork and coring lakes to helping lead and build global-scale community databases. He has lived in Wisconsin since 2004 and has raised his family here; he enjoys kayaking, pickleball, running with his dog, and board-gaming. Dr. Williams is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America and Kellett Fellow at UW-Madison.
