"CLIMATE CHANGE: JUST A CHANGE OR A CRISIS?"
BOB RYAN
You may remember Bob Ryan as the first meteorologist to join the Today Show and, after 1980, as chief meteorologist at NBC4 and head of digital weather strategies at ABC7 in Washington.
Ryan began his career in the atmospheric sciences as an associate researcher in the Physics Section with Arthur D. Little Inc (ADL). in Cambridge, MA where he conducted research in cloud physics. While at ADL, Ryan began to work part time as a broadcast meteorologist in Boston, a career move which would become full time. Now retired, he continues to work as a consultant on weather and climate matters and serve on committees in the field of communication.
In the past he has testified before various committees of Congress and served on the National Academy of Science Board of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. He was a member of committees of the National Research Council which wrote the "Fair Weather" report and the "Completing the Forecast . . ." report. He also served on the Advisory Committee of the Geoscience Directorate of the National Science Foundation and as the organizing chair of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Committee on Effective Communication of Weather and Climate Information.
He is a Certified Consulting Meteorologist, and Fellow and Past President of the AMS. He holds a BS degree in Physics and M.S. in Atmospheric Science from the University at Albany.
