Dr. Francis Zwiers is a world leader in developing and implementing powerful statistical tools for the study and prediction of climate change. He has imaginatively used various statistical approaches to analyze and integrate climate observations and the results from simulations of the climate with comprehensive computer models. Most important have been his recent achievements in developing and applying statistical tools for the detection of climate change and its attribution to human activities. He is one of those rare scientists, whose fundamental research is being applied immediately in an area of global societal concern, namely determining and understanding changes in the climate that may be resulting from the buildup of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere.
