Short bio

Dr. Judith Curry is Professor and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech, she has held faculty positions at the University of Colorado, Penn State University and Purdue University. Dr. Curry’s research interests span a variety of topics in weather and climate, including: the variability of hurricanes on global scales, in the North Atlantic, and land falling hurricanes striking the U.S. and Latin America; climate change in the Arctic; and applications of satellite data to interpreting recent variations in the climate data record. She is President of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN), which is translating Georgia Tech’s cutting edge weather and climate research into applications that support risk management by providing operational forecasting and decision support. Dr. Curry currently serves on the Earth Science Subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council and has recently served on the National Academies Climate Research Committee and the Space Studies Board and the NOAA Climate Working Group. Dr. Curry is coauthor of the book Thermodynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans and is editor of the Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences. She has published over 150 refereed journal articles. Dr. Curry is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geophysical Union, and has received the Henry Houghton Award from the American Meteorological Society.
