UA played role in climate work that won today's Nobel Peace Prize

By Eric Swedlund

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.12.2007
Today's Nobel Peace Prize award to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is big news for the UA campus, where one professor is a lead author of a key climate change report and others have started similar research in the newly acquired Biosphere 2 lab.
Jonathan Overpeck, director of the UA’s Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, is one of 33 authors who drafted the panel's latest six-year worldwide climate report, released in February in Paris.
That report is the most certain yet that the causes of global climate change are man-made, with a consensus agreeing on a 90 percent likelihood. Overpeck called it “Unequivocal” and “a slam dunk.”
Climate change has long been a focus of University of Arizona researchers, from Overpeck’s lab to the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research.
In June, the university finalized an agreement to acquire the Biosphere 2 miniworld near Oracle for research.
