NCAR Authors & Reviewers for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Honors and Awards
Mar 16, 2010 - by Staff
The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore. Scores of scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research served as authors or reviewers for the four assessment reports leading up to the 2007 recognition, and several NCAR scientists have played leadership roles. UCAR staff have provided considerable administrative support via the Technical Support Units and other roles. (2007 news release)
Behind the scenes, a key component of the effort was the development of NCAR-led and community-developed climate models. For example the NCAR-based Community Climate System Model, run on NCAR's Bluefire supercomputer, provided crucial data for the 2007 assessments.
Below is a list of NCAR and UCAR scientific staff who have contributed to the five major IPCC assessments to date. There are several levels of authorship. To reduce repetition, each staff member is listed only once, at his or her highest level of authorship for each assessment.
Many additional staff from across the institution have provided technical and administrative support to IPCC efforts, including the five assessments and several special or supplementary reports.
