Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Malcolm K. Cleaveland's research interests include historical perspectives on climate variability and its impact on natural systems. His work has investigated pre-instrumental data to understand long-term patterns in Arkansas River cross-watershed flow and the influence of dry-season climate variability on tropical tree growth. Cleaveland has also studied historical disease outbreaks, including their potential links to climate and freshwater sources, with a focus on the 16th and 17th centuries in Mexico. He is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 35 and has authored 76 publications. His collaborations include work with Daniela Granato‐Souza, David W. Stahle, and Ian M. Howard, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
