Prof David
Douglas
David H. Douglass is an American physicist at the University of
Rochester. Prof. Douglass received his B.S. in Physics from the
University of Maine and his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. After positions at MIT Lincoln Laboratories
and MIT, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Physics at the
University of Chicago. At Chicago, he was promoted to Associate
Professor and Professor. Prof. Douglass joined the University of
Rochester as a Professor of Physics in 1968. Prof. Douglass was a
recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Award (junior) for 4 years, the
Alfred P. Sloan Award (senior), and the University of Rochester's
Bridging Fellowship to the Eastman School of Music. He is a Fellow
of the American Physical Society and the New York Academy of
Sciences.
Prof. Douglass interests have been in the general
area of Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. His work has involved
experiments in the areas of liquid helium and superconductivity
(both low temperature and high temperature). Significant
contributions have also been made in the field of gravitational wave
detectors. Prof. Douglass has also worked on chaos and frequency
drifts of spectral lines of extended sources. His interests for the
last several years have been on climate change, in particular with
the fundamental science issues underlying "global warming".
A
2007 paper by Douglass and coworkers questioned the reliability of
22 of the most commonly used global climate models analyzed by
Benjamin D. Santer and used by the IPCC to predict accelerated
warming in the troposphere. Santer and 17 co-authors later rebutted
Douglass' paper.

publications concerning global climate change may be found here:
