2018 Ludwick Lecture
DR. KEVIN TRENBERTH, UNIVERSITY CORPORATION FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH
This year’s Ludwick Lecturer is Dr. Kevin E. Trenberth, a distinguished senior scientist in the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. From New Zealand, he obtained his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been prominent in most of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientific assessments of Climate Change and has also extensively served the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) in numerous ways, most recently as chair of the WCRP Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) project. He has also served on many U.S. national committees. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. He has published over 544 articles or books and is one of the most cited scientists in his field. He has given many invited scientific talks as well as appearing in a number of television, radio programs, and newspaper articles.
Dr. John Ludwick (“Jack”) loved seminars and as legend has it, never missed one if he was in town, no matter the topic or discipline. Thus, it seemed a fitting retirement gift to him, beginning in 1988, to initiate a distinguished lecture series bearing his name. Each year the Department brings in a leader or innovator in oceanography or earth sciences to meet with faculty, students, and alumni, and deliver a public lecture to a general audience. Responsibility for selecting the lecturer is rotated among the department’s academic sub-disciplines.
