1985 Nobel Prize in Physics (co-recipient)

The 1985 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Klaus Hasselmann and si for pioneering work in understanding how natural and human-made factors influence Earth's climate. Hasselmann developed methods to distinguish between weather patterns, which change quickly, and climate trends, which evolve slowly. His techniques allow scientists to identify and analyze the fingerprints of human activities, like pollution, on climate change. This work is fundamental in climate science, helping us better predict environmental changes and inform policy decisions to address global warming.
