Hubert Lamb

Hubert Horace Lamb (1913 - 1997) was an English climatologist who founded the Climatic Research Unit in 1971 in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia.

Most of his scientific life Lamb spent at the Meteorological Office, UK, where he started as a Technical Officer by special merit promotion. His responsibilities were in the fields of long range weather forecasting, world climatology and climate change. In this capacity he spent some years in Antarctica and in Malta and North Africa and became a Member of the WMO Working Group on Climate Fluctuations and the first Director of the Climatic Research Unit in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia

In August 2006, the Climatic Research Unit Building in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia was renamed the Hubert Lamb Building.

His son Norman Lamb is the MP for North Norfolk.
