Raymond Pierrehumbert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond T. Pierrehumbert is Louis Block Professor in Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. His central research interest is how climate works as a system and developing idealized mathematical models to be used to address questions of climate science such as how the earth keep from freezing over: the faint young sun paradox. He also contributes to RealClimate, and has been quoted as a supporter of ACLU Legal rulings.[1]
