Stefan Rahmstorf (born
February 22 ,1960 ) is a Germanoceanographer andclimatologist . Since2000 , he has been a Professor of Physics of the Oceans atPotsdam University . He received his PhD inoceanography fromVictoria University of Wellington (1990 ). His work focuses on the role ofocean current s inclimate change .He was one of the lead authors of the
IPCC Fourth Assessment Report .In
1999 Rahmstorf was awarded the $1 million Centennial Fellowship Award of the US-based James S. McDonnell foundation. Rahmstorf is a member of the Panel on Abrupt Climate Change and of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU).elected publications
