Syukuro Manabe

StarStarStarStar

Known for his work in developing global climate models and simulating the Earth's climate system.

StarStarStarStar

Reid Bryson

StarStarStarStar

Often cited as the father of scientific climatology, he was one of the first to study human impact on climate change.

StarStarStarStar

Svante Arrhenius

StarStarStarStar

Received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and was the first to calculate the impact of CO2 on Earth's climate, essentially founding the science of greenhouse gas-induced global warming.

StarStarStarStar

Edward Lorenz

StarStarStarStar

A meteorologist and a mathematician who founded chaos theory and introduced the concept of the 'Butterfly Effect' in meteorology.

StarStarStarStar

Joanne Simpson

StarStarStarStar

The first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology and contributed significantly to the study of cloud formation, convection, and severe storm systems in the tropics.

StarStarStarStar

James Hansen

StarStarStarStar

Known for his research in the field of climatology and his testimony on climate change to congressional committees in the 1980s that helped raise broad awareness of global warming.

StarStarStarStar

Guy Stewart Callendar

StarStarStarStar

Known for the Callendar effect, which asserts that global temperature increases are due to CO2 emissions from fuel combustion.

StarStarStarStar

Alfred Wegener

StarStarStarStar

Best known for proposing the theory of continental drift, which became the precursor to the theory of plate tectonics.

StarStarStarStar

Jacob Bjerknes

StarStarStarStar

Known for his contributions to meteorology, particularly for work on the dynamics of the atmosphere and his discovery of the mechanism of the El Niño phenomenon.

StarStarStarStar

Milutin Milanković

StarStarStarStar

Famous for developing a mathematical theory of climate based on the Earth's orbital changes known as Milankovitch cycles.
