| Zusammenfassung |
The paper traces my career as a climatologist from the 1950s and that of most
of my graduate students from the late 1960s. These decades were the formative
ones in the evolution of climate science. Following a brief account of the
history of climatology, a summary of my early training, my initial teaching
and research in the UK is discussed. This is followed by new directions at
the University of Colorado, Boulder from October 1968. The history of the
World Data Center for Glaciology/National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder
from 1977 is described and climate-cryosphere initiatives at the Cooperative
Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). International
activities and links are then reported, followed by a section on national and
international committees. I then describe my activities during sabbaticals
and research leaves. The paper concludes with discussion of my "retirement"
activities and an epilogue.
The paper is based on a lecture given at the Roger Barry Symposium: A Chronicle of
Distinction: From the Arctic to the Andes, at the University of Colorado, 10
August 2004 and updated to 2014. |
