Owen
Brian Toon (born May 26, 1947 in Bethesda, Maryland)[1] is
a professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences. He is a fellow at the
Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder.
He received an A.B. in physics at the University of California, Berkeley in
1969 and a Ph.D. in physics at Cornell University in 1975 under Carl Sagan.
His research interests are in cloud physics, atmospheric chemistry, and radiative transfer. He also works on comparing
Earth and other planets such as Venus. His research on the
asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs led to the discovery of nuclear
winter due to the major decrease in temperature. The effects of
nuclear winter were re-examined in a 2006 presentation at the annual meeting of
the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, where Toon and colleagues
found that even a regional nuclear war could prove deadly for a large number of
people. They calculated that as few as fifty detonations of Hiroshima-size
bombs could kill as many as twenty million people, although it would not
produce a nuclear winter The atmospheric effects of a regional nuclear war
would last several years, and would be strongest at mid-latitudes,
including the United States and Europe. He was elected a fellow of the American Meteorological Society in
1990, and a fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 1992. He
received the 2011 Roger Revelle Medal from the American
Geophysical Union.
