פרופ' יוסף אשכנזי המחלקה לפיזיקה סביבתית אוניברסיטת בן גוריון פרופ' יוסף אשכנזי הוא חבר סגל במחלקה לפיזיקה סביבתית באוניברסיטת בן גוריון. הוא סיים דוקטורט בפיזיקה באוניברסיטת בר אילן בכאוס קוונטי ופוסט-דוק במכון הטכנולוגי של מסצ'וסטס (MIT). פרופ' אשכנזי עוסק בדינמיקה של מערכת האקלים של עבר כדור הארץ והאקלים העכשווי. בין היתר הוא חקר את תופעת כדור השלג (snowball) שהתרחשה לפני יותר מ 600 מיליון שנה, את עידני הקרח במיליוני השנים האחרונות, ותהליכי התיישבות באלפי השנים האחרונים. כמו כן חקר של תופעות אוקיינוגרפיות ואטמוספיריות כלליות, ניתוח נתונים ימיים ואטמוספיריים והסברים לתופעות נצפות. תחום המחקר כולל גם מודלים לכיסוי הצמחייה וקרומי קרקע על דיונות חול, ולאחרונה גם הדינמיקה של הקרח והים של הירח של צדק אירופה. לצפייה בעבודותיו בקרו באתרו האישי: http://www.bgu.ac.il/~ashkena/
