Graeme Leslie Stephens

climate sciences at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology[5] and professor of earth observation the University of Reading.[6][7]

Education

Stephens was educated at the

PhD in meteorology in 1977.[2]

Career and research

Stephens research has provided leadership in three major disciplinary areas of Earth sciences:

  1. Atmospheric radiation and radiative transfer[4]
  2. Earth observations and remote sensing[4]
  3. Understanding critical cloud-climate feedbacks and related effects on the Earth's energy budget[4]

Stephens has pioneered quantitative uses of global Earth observations and combined this with theory to study Earth's

climate change feedback.[4] He provided leadership in designing and developing international satellite programs exemplified by his creation and leadership of the decade long CloudSat satellite mission[3] that is providing novel insights and understanding of the Earth's clouds, precipitation and their role in climate.[4][1][8]

Awards and honours

Stephens was elected a member of the

National Aeronautics Space Administration, Exceptional Public Service Medal.[4]

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2018.[4]
