Henrik Svensmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henrik Svensmark is a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen who studies the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation.
Henrik Svensmark and Eigil Friis-Christensen were the first to suggest (in 1997) a link between galactic cosmic rays and global warming. The small-scale processes related to this link were studied in a laboratory experiment done at the Danish National Space Center (paper published in the "Proceedings of the Royal Society A", February 8, 2007).
In 2007 Henrik Svensmark published a book "The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change" together with Nigel Calder.
