Climate and Earth science editor

Peter Gleick is a climate, environment and Earth science editor covering climate change, extreme weather, freshwater systems and environmental evidence. He focuses on how observations, models and attribution studies support scientific conclusions and where uncertainty still limits what researchers can say.

·

 Peter Gleick studied environmental science and physical geography at the University of Leeds, developing an interest in climate systems, hydrology and the movement of water through changing landscapes. He later worked with an environmental data project, a regional water research partnership and a scientific publishing team covering climate and Earth science. At Science Report, he writes and edits coverage of climate models, extreme weather, drought, flooding, freshwater resources, groundwater, pollution and environmental health. His editorial approach distinguishes measured trends from model projections and examines how confidently individual events can be linked to a changing climate. He also focuses on the practical consequences of environmental research for water security, food systems, public health and communities exposed to unequal environmental risks. 

Topics

  • Climatology The scientific study of Earth’s climate, its long-term variability and the physical processes that drive climatic change.
  • Hydrology The study of the movement, distribution, quality and management of water across Earth’s surface and subsurface systems.
  • Environmental Science An interdisciplinary field that applies physical, biological and quantitative sciences to environmental systems and problems.
