  • The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award Goes to Richard Alley, the “Interpreter” of Ice Who Uncovered the Evidence of Sudden Climate Changes
    The Climate Change category leads off the seventh edition of the awards The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award goes to Richard Alley, the “interpreter” of ice who uncovered the evidence of sudden climate changes The American glaciologist has used his understanding of the mechanics of ice formation, deformation and flow to explain how the planet’s frozen masses have interacted with the climate throughout time Alley considers it “optimistic” to think that climate change must always be gradual, and advocates planning ahead using the scientific knowledge we have at our command Madrid, January 9, 2015.-The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Climate Change category goes in this seventh edition to U.S. glaciologist Richard Alley for his “pioneering research” into the “mechanics of ice and its implications for abrupt climate change,” in the words of the jury’s citation. Jury member Miquel Canals refers to Alley as “our best interpreter of ice. Although there are others working in different aspects of the field, he is the one who completed the circle: in ice he has read the history of the atmosphere, with its phases of abrupt change. He has elucidated its mechanisms of formation and deformation and how it interacts with climate. Alley explains the present while keeping a window open to the past and analyzing possible future paths.” Ice is an archive of climate information. Alley, for instance, has studied ice cores that show the composition of our atmosphere over thousands of years, with sufficient precision to reconstruct past climate year by year in regions such as Greenland.
