From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriele Hegerl is the research director of Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences.

She led a team which:

... found substantial ups and downs in the Earth's temperature before modern times, countering other studies that confine noticeable temperature increases to the industrialized era. Marked climate change in other centuries resulted from "external forcing," said the Duke findings, citing volcanic eruptions and other influences. "Our reconstruction supports a lot of variability in the past," said research director Gabriele Hegerl of Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. [1]
