个人简介
Dr. Funk is an internationally respected climate scientist, and Director of the UC Santa Barbara Climate Hazards Center, where he helps direct a ~20 person international team and develops and applies cutting edge science that has helped save the lives and livelihoods of tens of thousands of people. His work on drought prediction and famine prevention has placed him on the front lines of climate change and climate extremes research, and he develops climate services and early warning systems that are widely used to monitor and anticipate disasters. Working closely with partners in Africa and Central America, he provides humanitarian climate science that saves lives and livelihoods.
Chris holds dual positions as a USGS federal scientist and an academic researcher (affiliated Full Professor). With over 150 publications and ~7100citations (>1270 in 2019), Funk is an active scholar whose work has appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science, Global Environmental Change, and the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS). He and his work have been recently featured on TV and in print [KEYT News (1, 2), KCRW(3, 4), NY Times (5, 6, 7), Voice Of America (, 9, 10)]. Since 2012, Funk has also been an active member of the emerging field of extreme event attribution, publishing annually in the BAMS special issue focused on extreme event attribution.
Dr. Funk also focuses on communications with non-scientific communities. Such communication is a central part of his work with the US Agency for International Development’s Famine Early Warning Systems Network. These efforts improved humanitarian responses during the 2011 and 2017 East African droughts and the 2015/2016 droughts in Ethiopiaand Southern Africa
