Trenberth emphasizes the fundamental role of energy flow in the climate system. The changing distribution of heat is the main determinant of weather patterns and extremes, their impacts, and climate change. Students, researchers, and professionals from a wide range of backgrounds will benefit from this deeper understanding of climate change.

Dr. Kevin E. Trenberth is a Distinguished Scholar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). He was a Lead Author of the 1995, 2001, and 2007 Scientific Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize which went to the IPCC and Al Gore. He served from 1999 to 2006 on the Joint Scientific Committee of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). He chaired the WCRP Observation and Assimilation Panel from 2004 to 2010 and the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Scientific Steering Group from 2010-2013 (member 2007-14). He has also served on many US national committees. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Ap¿rangi. In 2000 he received the Jule G. Charney award from the AMS; in 2003 he was given the NCAR Distinguished Achievement Award; in 2013 he was awarded the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water, and he received the Climate Communication Prize from AGU. In 2017 he was honored with the Roger Revelle medal by the AGU.
