Michael E. Mann

Michael E. Mann ( born December 28, 1965 in Amherst, Massachusetts) is an American climatologist and author of more than 80 professional articles. Since 2005 he is Professor of Meteorology and Director of the Centre for Geosciences ( "Earth System Science Center ") of the Pennsylvania State University (USA). Previously, he spent six years as a professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia.

Man was one of the main authors of the published 2001 Third Assessment Report of the IPCC on global warming and there is a lead author of the section on past climate changes. In this section, his reconstruction of temperatures over the past millennium has been used, which became known as the hockey stick graph in the 19th century because of their upward bend of course. The reproducibility and accuracy of this work, in particular the extent and interpretation of the medieval warm period were questioned in the controversy surrounding global warming.

Man is considered to be profiled Warner from global warming. He also writes a regular contributor to the blog RealClimate.

For his achievements in the field of climate research man was honored in 2012 with the Hans Oeschger Medal of the European Geosciences Union.
