Interview mit Hartmut Heinrich

Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich eine ganze Reihe ausführlicher Interviews mit Klimaforschern gemacht . Jetzt ist ein Weiteres hinzugekommen: "Hartmut Heinrich - der unbekannte weltberühmte Kliamforscher aus Hamburg", diesmal gemeinsam mit meinem Kollegen Kay Emeis - unser Gesprächspartner war Hartmut Heinrich. Erschienen ist das Interview auf Academia.

Tom Crowley - interview

In February 2014, we (Heinz Wanner, Gabi Hegerl and myself) did the last interview with the late formidable Tom Crowley. It has now been published in the Newsletter "Dust" of PAGES (No. 22, 1145-115)

His web-page at U Edinburgh is still running; we will try to transfer it to another provider to make sure that it can be read also in future.

Interview with Lennart Bengtsson

Interview with Lennart Bengtsson
by Hans von Storch

On the occasion of the press release by GWPF: "Professor Lennart Bengtsson Joins GWPF Academic Advisory Council" I wanted to hear Lennart's own position on this mattter and prepared some question. Here are his answers:

Zu kompliziert für die Jugend

Mich erreichte diese Anfrage:

"bei Schekker (www.schekker.de), dem Jugendmagazin der Bundesregierung, dreht sich nächsten Monat alles rund um das Thema "Fernweh". In Erfahrungsberichten, Filmbeitträgen, Votings und Co wird das Thema von jungen Autoren für junge Leser unter die Lupe genommen.

Im Experten-Interview würden wir gerne mit Ihnen die Klimafolgen des Reisens beleuchten. Was passiert eigentlich mit unserer Umwelt durch unsere "Reisewut"? Kann man nachhaltig reisen?

Das Interview wurde von einem unserer jungen Autoren in enger Absprache mit der Redaktion vorbereitet. Da unsere Autoren in ganz Deutschland verteilt sind, könnte das Interview auch telefonisch stattfinden."

Interview with Julia Hargreaves

The following interview with Julia Hargreaves was done be Hans von Storch for the Newsletter of the Atmospheric Science Section of the American Geophysical Union. Julia (Jules) Hargreaves took physics at Oxford University, where she received her BA in 1991; her PhD was in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1995, from Cambridge University. From 1995-2001 she studied spectral wave modelling at the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, UK. In 2001 she started research in climate change, in Yokohama Japan. Since then her lab has gone through several changes in identity; initially it was Frontier Research System for Global Change, and now it is the Research Institute for Global Change.

This interview is the latest in series of interesting personalities from atmospheric and climatic sciences, for a list refer to this web-page.

Interview with Eduardo Zorita

AGU Newsletter. Toshio Yamagata

This interview with the Japanese scientist Toshio Yamagata was prepared by Hans von Storch in July 2012. The original has been published in the August 2012 issue of the Newsletter of the Atmospheric Science Section of the AGU.

Toshio Yamagata is currently the director of Application Laboratory at Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. He was the Dean of School of Science of the University of Tokyo from 2009 to 2012 and after retiring from the university in 2012, he was given the title of Professor Emeritus. His has done extensive modeling and analysis work with focus on large-scale dynamical processes of the oceans and the atmosphere. He has been awarded in 2004 the American Meteorological Society’s H. U. Sverdrup Gold Medal “for his outstanding accomplishments in the study of ocean and climate dynamics, especially with respect to El Nino and air-sea interaction over the Indian Ocean.” He is a fellow of the AMS and AGU for his accomplishments and outstanding contributions to the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

Interview with Christopher Castro

In my series of interviews with Atmospheric scientists for the newsletter of the Atmospheric Science Section of the American Geophysical Union, I have now interviewed Christopher Castro, who is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. The interview was published in the May 2012 issue of the Newsletter - it is #15 in my AGU series (there is a second series, among scientists from the Hamburg Center of Excellence CLISAP).

Interview Reiner Grundmann

1. Reiner, you have published the paper “’Climategate’ and The Scientific Ethos” in Science Technology & Human Values. I understand that this article had a long history of submissions and rejections. Would you mind telling us, what happened, and what you think why this happened?

AGU Interview with Bjorn Stevens

New interview in the series of the AGU Atmospheric Science Newsletter No. 6(1) with Bjorn Stevens.
Bjorn Stevens is a director at the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology where he leads the Atmosphere in the Earth System Department and is a professor at the University of Hamburg. Prior to moving to Hamburg Dr. Stevens was a professor of Dynamic Meteorology at the University of California of Los Angeles. His research blends modeling, theory and field work to help articulate the role of clouds and atmospheric convection in the climate system. Dr. Stevens has made pioneering contributions to our understanding of mixing and microphysical processes on the structure and organization of marine boundary layer clouds, whose statistics regulate the flow of energy through the Earth system. Small changes in such clouds can greatly amplify, or dampen, perturbations to the Earth system. Dr. Stevens received a PhD in Atmospheric Science in 1996 from the Colorado State University in Ft Collins CO, and holds a Bachelor and Masters of Science in electrical engineering from Iowa State University.
This is no. 13 in this series of interviews.

Interview with Hans von Storch: Modelling and Postnormality

Springer Verlag has published a collection of interviews done by Georg Götz: Global Change - Interviews with Leading Climate Scientists (53 p), Softcover, ISBN 978-3-642-23443-9. Interviewed are Hans Oerlemans, Hans von Storch, Erland Källén, Andrew Weaver, Martin Parry, Stéphane Hallegatte and Donald Hughes.

The interview with Hans von Storch was published with the title  "We always make models for something not of something" - about dynamical modelling, parameterizations and postnormality.

The interview was taped in late 2010, and authorized in February 2011.

Interview with Roger Pielke sr.

In my series of interviews with eminent atmospheric scientists in the Atmospheric Sciences Section of AGU Newsletter a new one has now been published - with Roger A Pielke Sr. He voices rather critical views, and likely not everybody will like his assertions. But being a Fellow of both the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2004, a former Chief Editor of the Monthly Weather Review and Co-Chief Editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences he is undoubtedly a legitimate participant in the discussion among scientific experts.

The full series of now 6 AGU-interviews can be downloaded here.

Sveriges radio: P1-morgon - Kritik mot klimatpanel

Efter de senaste månadernas avslöjanden om att FN:s klimatpanel IPCC har kommit med felaktiga påstånden växer nu kraven på åtgärder mot klimatpanelen. Det handlar bland annat om ett påstående från IPCC om att Himalayas glaciärer skulle smälta redan till 2035, och att en del forskare skulle ha velat hindra forskare med andra åsikter från att bli publicerade. Reportage av Sven Börjesson. Interview med Hans von Storch, och samtal med Anders Omstedt, klimatforskare och professor i Oceanografi vid Göteborgs Universitet och Michael Tjernström, professor vid Meteorologiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet.

Interview with R. Pachauri

http://epaper.hindustantimes.com/Default.aspx?Id=59557A494B74774853506369696D45484F31554B6B64347A7666757476576538427770656D56446E3031383D

Added on 6 February 2010: Another report Pachauri and India in the Telegraph.

Caveat: Reports in the Telegraph (and other newspapers) are sometimes contested as not being accurate. Not all newspapers adopt the good journalistic practise of having direct quotes authorized. Interviews, on the other hand, are in most cases accurate and authorized - according to my experience.
