Post-Doc
Research Social Scientist  **DEGREES** ****Ph.D.                      University of Oklahoma                                      Geography      2018 Diploma*                Dresden University of Technology (Germany)       Geography    2011 * equivalent to M.S  **BACKGROUND & RESEARCH INTERESTS** Dr. Klemm is an interdisciplinary climate scientist at the USDA Northern Plains Climate Hub. Toni’s research applies science co-production methods and environmental data analysis to identify management challenges as a result of climate change, particularly in an agricultural context. He uses climate, vegetation, and other data and works with stakeholders and decision makers to develop effective decision tools and sustainable, adaptive management practices. Toni grew up on a sheep farm in eastern Germany and moved stateside in 2012 to pursue his Ph.D. His dissertation received the 2020 Dissertation Award by the American Association of State Climatologists. Toni is a passionate science communicator and science educator. Learn more about his podcasting, blogging, photography, and videography here.  **PUBLICATIONS** Briske, D. D., J. P. Ritten, A. R.
