UChicago to award honorary degree to renowned climate scientist Eli Tziperman

The University of Chicago is set to honor Eli Tziperman, a prominent climate scientist, with an honorary degree at its Convocation ceremony on June 7, 2025. Tziperman, who serves as a professor at Harvard University, has been acknowledged as a leading figure in theoretical climate and ocean dynamics.

Tziperman's work spans various areas within climate science, notably in tropical climate variability and historical climates. He holds the position of Pamela and Vasco McCoy Jr. Professor of Oceanography and Applied Physics in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard.

His research focuses on the significant role of internal dynamics in shaping the climate system. His contributions are recognized for their breadth and impact on defining the field of climate science. A hallmark of his research is the development of simplified mathematical models that distill complex systems into their essential components to understand key natural mechanisms.

Further details about this year's Convocation ceremony can be found on the Convocation website.
