Joshua Caleb Bregy (born February 25, 1991) is an American professor of paleoclimatology and paleotempestology currently working at Clemson University. In particular he has specialized in climate, hazards, and extreme events during the Quaternary and Common Era.

Research
Dr. Bregy holds a dual PhD in Geography and Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from Indiana University. His research on paleohurricanes is largely focused on understanding changes in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity, long-term tropical cyclone–climate interactions, and different tropical cyclone hazards (i.e., storm surge and precipitation) to prepare for ongoing and future changes in tropical cyclones in response to anthropogenic climate change.

He was an invited speaker at the European Geosciences Union Annual Meeting in 2021 and repeat presenter at the American Geophysical Union. Dr. Bregy has developed a novel method of cross referencing tree rings and overwash deposits to understand tropical cyclone variability, and has reconstructed the longest hurricane precipitation historical record to date. In light of the strengthening of Atlantic tropical cyclones caused by anthropogenic climate change, his current research focuses on using historical data for predictive modeling of the Azorez-Bermuda High.
