Education: Ph.D. in Earth Sciences, The Ohio State University (1976)

His research focuses on global climate dynamics, particularly the El Niño and monsoon systems. Observations of glacier retreat over decades provide critical evidence of unprecedented modern warming. Thompson’s team pioneered lightweight solar-powered drilling systems to study ice cores from the Andes, Himalayas, and Kilimanjaro, revealing millennia of climate patterns.

Awards & Recognition:

National Medal of Science
Tyler Prize
Dan David Prize
Fellowships (AGU, AAAS)

Thompson’s work bridges field research, laboratory analysis, and global climate modeling. He emphasizes the societal impacts of climate change through glacier retreat data, advocating for urgent scientific and policy responses.
