Petr Chylek is a researcher for Space and Remote Sensing Sciences at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Prior to becoming a government researcher in 2001, Chylek was a Professor at several US and Canadian universities including SUNY Albany, Purdue University, University of Oklahoma and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. Chylek has published over 100 first authored scientific papers in remote sensing, atmospheric radiation, climate change, cloud and aerosol physics, applied laser physics and ice core analysis. His work has been cited more than 4000 times. Chylek is best known for his work in remote sensing, aerosols and climate change. In 2006, Chylek served as Chairman, Scientific Program Committee for The Second International Conference on Global Warming and the Next Ice Age held at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Santa Fe, NM. Speakers included Venkatachalam Ramaswamy, Chris Folland, Gerald North, Roger A. Pielke, William M. Gray and Jan Veizer. The conference included a two-day workshop on climate prediction uncertainties. The papers presented at the 2006 Conference were published in a special section of the ''Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres'' in 2007. The Conference is held each 5th year. The next one will be in 2011. In 2007, Chylek and co-authors published a peer-reviewed paper estimating climate sensitivity to doubled atmospheric CO2 to be significantly less than the IPCC estimate.〔(Aerosol Optical Depth, Climate Sensitivity and Global Warming )〕 Chylek received his diploma in theoretical physics from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. He received his Ph.D. in physics from UC Riverside in 1970. ==Honors== * Fellow of the Optical Society of America (elected 1989) * Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (elected in 2006) * Fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (named in 2006). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petr Chylek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
