Pedro DiNezio
Pedro DiNezio is a climate scientist and associate professor of atmospheric and ocean sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. Prof. DiNezio studies the influence of the tropical oceans on our planet’s weather and climate using theory, models, and observations. He has pioneered the use of paleoclimate data to validate model predictions using physical mechanisms to connect past and future changes. This approach has allowed Prof. DiNezio and collaborators improve predictions of drought and climate extremes worldwide. Prof. Di Nezio has published extensively on subjects related to past and future climate change, the prediction of El Niño and La Niña, contributing to the IPCC, and advising government agencies and the private sector. An environmental activist, Prof. DiNezio works to protect beaches and coastal dunes in Argentina from erosion caused by sea level rise and unsustainable urban development.
