Why Is Heinz Wanner Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Heinz Wanner is a Swiss geographer and climate researcher. He is a professor emeritus and works at the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research of the University of Bern. Biography Wanner studied geography, climatology, geology and mathematics in Bern and Grenoble . His supervisors were Bruno Messerli, Max Schüepp and Charles Peguy. He initially worked on synoptic climatology, mesoscale dynamics and mountain meteorology. After completing his doctorate on fog and cold air dynamics over the Swiss Plateau, he worked from 1981 to 1982 at the Department of Atmospheric Science of the Colorado State University in Fort Collins and as deputy operations director of the international Mountain Experiment ALPEX, which was part of the Global Atmospheric Research Programme . He then worked on air flows and air pollution in the Alpine region and chaired the EU working group of the ozone field experiment in Heilbronn-Neckarsulm.
