He has worked on the history of atmospheric CO
2 concentration, the expectation of fossil fuel CO
2 over geologic time scales in the future, and the impact of CO
2 on future ice age cycles, ocean methane hydrate decomposition, and coral reefs.[1] Archer is a contributor to the RealClimate blog.[1]

Teaching responsibilities

He teaches classes on global warming, environmental chemistry, and global geochemical cycles.[2] He is the author of Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast, an introductory textbook on the environmental sciences for non-science undergraduates.[3]

Education

He obtained his Ph.D from the University of Washington in 1990.[2]
