He has undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Cambridge University where he studied global simulations of the carbon cycle and the interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere. He is known for his postdoctoral Witness Tree project at Harvard University. Rademacher has most recently been doing maple research in Canada and will start work at the Proctor Maple Research Center this fall.
