Ray Bradley is Director of the Climate System Research Center (<a href="http://www.paleoclimate.org">www.paleoclimate.org</a>)

at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a University

Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geosciences. His

interests are in climate variability and why climate changes, over a

wide range of timescales. He did his graduate work at the Institute of

Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder. He has

written or edited ten books on climatic change, and authored more than

100 refereed articles on the subject. In 2004, he received a Doctor of

Science (D.Sc) degree from Southampton University (U.K.) for his

contributions to the field of paleoclimatology.

Ray Bradley has been an advisor to various government and

international agencies, including the U.S., Swiss, Swedish, and U.K.

National Science Foundations, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA), the U.S. National Research Council, the

Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the US-Russia Working

Group on Environmental Protection, and the International

Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), Stockholm.

More information about his research and publication record can be found <a href="http://www.geo.umass.edu/faculty/bradley/">here</a>.---While still finishing his PhD research, Mann met UMass climate science professor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_S._Bradley" title="Raymond S. Bradley">Raymond S. Bradley</a>

and began research in collaboration with him and Park. Their research

used paleoclimate proxy data from Bradley's previous work and methods

Mann had developed with Park, to find oscillations in the longer proxy

records. "Global Interdecadal and Century-Scale Climate Oscillations

During the Past Five Centuries" was published by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature%28journal%29" title="Nature (journal)">Nature</a> in November 1995.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_E.Mann#cite_note-4">[5]</a>

Mann">Michael E. Mann</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_K.Hughes" title="Malcolm K. Hughes">Malcolm K. Hughes</a>,

an eminent dendrologist. This work (for which is he is publicly best

known, although scientifically his contributions to assembling surface

temperature records are only rivaled by Phil Jones) figured prominently

<h2> Interests and activities</h2>

Bradley's interests include climate variability and change. Bradley is a member of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealClimate" title="RealClimate">RealClimate</a> blog. Bradley has contributed to the public discussion of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming" title="Global warming">global warming</a>; in 2002 he was interviewed by CNN on the "melting glaciers of Kilimanjaro" story.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_S._Bradley#cite_note-5">[5]</a>
