Gavin A. Schmidt is a climatologist and climate modeler at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. He works on the variability of the ocean circulation and climate, using general circulation models (GCMs). He has also worked on ways to reconcile paleo-data with models. He helped develop the GISS ocean and coupled GCMs to improve the representation of the present day climate, while investigating their response to climate forcing. The latest GISS GCM is called ModelE.[1]
He is the co-author, with Joshua Wolfe, of Climate Change: Picturing the Science (2009), which has a foreword by Jeffrey D. Sachs. The book combines images of the effects of climate change with scientific explanations.[2]
Education
He was educated at The Corsham School, earned a BA (Hons) in mathematics at Jesus College, Oxford, and a PhD in applied mathematics at University College London.[3]
Career
Schmidt is a founding member and contributor to RealClimate, a blog that provides commentary on climate science for the interested public and journalists.[4] He has published over 60 refereed articles in journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, and Nature,[5] and was named In November 2004 as one of Scientific American's "Top 50 Research Leaders" of the year.[6]; this forms a part of his "Media and Outreach" [7]
