Background
Philip B. Duffy, a leader in atmospheric science and climate change research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is an adjunct professor in the School of Natural Sciences at UC Merced,. As director of the University of California Institute for Research on Climate Change and its Societal Impacts, his primary research interest is in improving understanding of the societal impacts of global warming or climate change (impacts on water availability, air quality, human health, etc.).
With this goal in mind he has improved the regional-scale fidelity of global climate models by using finer spatial resolution and using improved representations of key physical processes.
Duffy has a B.S. degree from Harvard in Astrophysics and a Ph.D. from Stanford in Applied Physics. He has published papers in astrophysics, atomic physics, and climate research.
