Judith Curry

Judith A. Curry is a professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She is the author and editor of several books and over 130 professional articles. Your Ph.D. she received in 1982 from the University of Chicago in the area of ​​geophysics.

Research

Curry researched in recent years, especially for issues of global warming. Central are the affects of climate change on atmospheric conditions for them. She is interested in climate change in the Arctic, which for years was her main interest. To this end, they conducted regular field studies and also evaluated the accuracy of climate models, especially those with a regional focus.

Curry notes an increasing tribal war character of the controversy surrounding global warming. She advocates for the disclosure of raw data and a broader, unbiased review of the related studies involving skeptical voices. Most recently, she was involved in the BEST study at the University of Berkeley, which closely followed, not least those goals.

Her essay On the Credibility of Climate Change, Towards Rebuilding Trust in the climate skeptic blog Watts Up With That became known. She also worked to bring about a separation of the political and scientific consideration of the links between global warming and the frequency of hurricanes.
