Marcy Rockman is an archaeologist with wide experience in national and international responses to climate change. Her research focus is landscape learning, which explores how humans gather, share, and remember environmental information, and she’s used this to address situations as diverse as cultural resource management in the American West and homeland security risk communication in Washington, DC. From 2011-2018 she served with the US National Park Service as their first Climate Change Adaptation Coordinator for Cultural Resources. She then held a range of international and national roles, including work on heritage for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), development of climate change hearings for the U.S. Congress (pre-Jan. 2025), and research into the history of heritage and climate policy. Currently she is a visiting researcher at Linnaeus University in Kalmar, Sweden, where she is part of the program of the UNESCO Chair for Heritage Futures. She holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the College of William and Mary and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Arizona.
