Richard C. J. Somerville is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. He is a fellow of three scientific societies: the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Meteorological Society (AMS). He has received awards from the AMS for his research and his popular book The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change. From the AGU, he has received two major honors: the Climate Communication Prize (2015) and the Ambassador Award (2017). Richard is co-author (with Sam Shen) of Climate Mathematics: Theory and Applications (2019, Cambridge University Press) and co-editor of The Development of Atmospheric General Circulation Models: Complexity, Synthesis and Computation (2018, Cambridge University Press).
'This succinct collection distils the insights of one of the world's foremost climate scientists. Clear, engaging, and deeply informative, Climate Change Science is an illuminating guide for readers seeking clarity-and a much-needed response to the ongoing assault on climate science.' Kerry A. Emanuel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'At a time when misinformation and disinformation are polluting the discourse related to climate change, Somerville's book is a beacon of sound science written in an accessible manner. The 'So-What's?' are clear.' Marshall Shepherd, University of Georgia 'Richard Somerville's Climate Change Science: An Essential Reader provides a masterclass in climate change communication, delivered by someone who has spent decades working in the field. The book is excellently written, thought-provoking and informative. A highly enjoyable read that does not require you to have a background in mathematics or science before you start.' Matt Smith, University of Worcester 'Designed for readers with little science or math background, Somerville gracefully illuminates the elements of climate science. Students will enjoy reading this book, and they will talk about it with their friends.' Valerie Thomas, Georgia Institute of Technology 'In Climate Change Science, Dr. Richard Somerville, a prominent climate scientist, recounts the history of climate change research while clearly explaining the fundamental science behind this urgent issue facing humanity. Throughout the book, Dr. Somerville weaves together history and anecdotes to make the complex science accessible … Reading this book is like listening to a lecture given by Dr. Somerville himself-his voice comes through in every chapter, adding a personal perspective … His explanations are clear, inviting readers from all backgrounds to engage with this critical topic…By writing this book in a way that is accessible to anyone … he is inviting everyone to the table to join the discussion and work toward solutions for the impending climate crisis. Climate Change Science is ideal for seminar-style classes in the social sciences, or as an introductory text in the sciences.' Tamara Barriquand, Humboldt University
