Nobel Prize season continues and on Tuesday the Nobel Assembly announced they awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics one half to Syukuru Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming" and the other half to Giorgio Parisi "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales."
Manabe is a senior meteorologist in the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at Princeton University, Hasselmann is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Hamburg and former Director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, and Parisi is a professor in theoretical physics at Sapienza University of Rome. The overarching theme that linked the joint prize was to do "with disorder and fluctuation, and how together they help scientists predict events."
