I have especially enjoyed the versatility of organic geochemistry; it can be applied to studies of many kinds of geological sequences and parts of geological time. As an important part of my career, I sailed as a shipboard organic geochemist on seven ocean‐drilling cruises that recovered organic carbon‐rich Cretaceous black shales, Mediterranean sapropels, and upwelling zone sediments. Because most marine sediments contain less than one‐tenth of a percent of organic carbon, learning more about the properties and the paleoceanographic processes important to the formation of these carbon‐rich deep‐sea sequences has been a long‐term theme of my career. At the same time, I have studied organic geochemical records in lakes, where higher sedimentation rates and greater organic carbon concentrations enable higher resolution investigation of depositional processes than in the oceans. In addition, I have studied peat sequences, which provide relatively detailed records of the paleoclimatic histories of their locations. In summary, my scientific curiosity has permitted me to be a paleoceanographer, a paleolimnologist, a paleoclimatologist, and above all an organic geochemist.","PeriodicalId":403895,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130619057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

None of the scientists who discovered the chemical nature and properties of ozone, and established its presence in the atmosphere, suspected that humans would be able to destroy a protective stratospheric layer that is essential for life on Earth. None of them had anticipated either that the emissions of pollutants associated with industrial activity and road transportation in urban areas would generate summertime ozone smog events with detrimental health effects and premature mortality. Scientific research has provided the knowledge needed to convince governments to take effective legislation to ban the industrial production of stratospheric ozone depleting agents and reduce the emissions of ozone precursors in the troposphere. This perspective paper calls for enhanced support of a strong fundamental research activity that rewards imagination and protects the scientific community from tight administrative and financial constraints. It highlights the need for scientists to keep a free and independent mind that leads to progress and innovation.","PeriodicalId":403895,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124100694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From Physics to Climate Science 从物理学到气候科学

North","doi":"10.1029/2019CN000126","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2019CN000126","url":null,"abstract":"I began my career in climate science in 1974 when I went on Sabbatical from a tenured position in a physics department to National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). I began working on simple climate models that year, and it led a few years later to a senior scientist position at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (1978–1986). During this time, colleagues and I continued working on simple models expanding them to two horizontal dimensions and with many applications in paleoclimatology. When the models were forced by white noise the response was remarkably close to those of general circulation models. My group did numerous studies on the sampling errors in estimating empirical orthogonal functions and in the identification, evaluation, and estimation of errors for satellite retrieval of rain. I was the first study scientist for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. I moved to Texas A&M University in 1986 and served as department head from 1995–2003. At A&M I continued working on statistical problems related to Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) and other applications such as detection of climate signals. I served in many service roles such as on boards, award committees, and as editor‐in‐chief for a journal and an encyclopedia. I also wrote, coauthored, or edited books on paleoclimatology, thermodynamics, climate models, and memoirs. I became Distinguished Professor Emeritus in 2014 and Research Professor until 2020, when I left the payroll.","PeriodicalId":403895,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133103911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the Soviet‐American nuclear arms race has ended, and the 2017 United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is on its way to ratification, there is still much more work to do. The smoke from fires ignited by nuclear weapons would block out the Sun, cooling Earth's surface. The United States and Russia can still produce a nuclear winter, killing most crops and producing a global famine. I have worked on this because I have been open to new opportunities, have used my scientific expertise to apply to important problems, and am sensitive to issues that present dangers to society. Having spent more than $20 million of the public's money on my research, I feel an obligation to warn society of dangers I discover, and focus on that communication as an intimate part of my scientific efforts. And nuclear winter research has been very good to me. It led to meeting Sherri West (my wife), Carl Sagan, and Fidel Castro; to getting my current job at Rutgers; and to being a participant in the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. Taking advantage of chance encounters at the Fall American Geophysical Union Meetings has been an important factor in this tale.","PeriodicalId":403895,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115018170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
