National Science Board head here April 27-28
Washington will deliver a lecture entitled “Computer Modeling of the 20th and 21st Century Climate Change” at 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 27, in 111 Memorial Hall, and a technical talk, “New Atmosphere and Ocean Climate Change Results from Coupled Climate Models” at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, April 28, in 305 Pearson Hall-Studio B. Washington chairs the National Science Board, the national science policy adviser to the president and Congress and governing board for the National Science Foundation. "We are quite pleased to have Dr. Warren Washington visit the University of Delaware,” Carolyn Thoroughgood, vice provost for research, said. “Dr. Washington's visit is the first of a series of visits by leaders of research-funding agencies to be hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research." Washington earned a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's degree in meteorology from Oregon State University. He received his doctoral degree in meteorology from Pennsylvania State University and joined NCAR in 1963 as a research scientist. His areas of expertise are atmospheric science and climate research, specializing in computer modeling of the earth's climate. Washington has published more than 100 papers in professional journals. His book, An Introduction to Three-Dimensional Climate Modeling, coauthored with Claire Parkinson, is a reference on climate modeling. His current research involves the Parallel Climate Model (PCM) and the Community Climate System Model (CCSM). He serves as a co-chairperson of the Climate Change Working Group within CCSM.
