Nobel Prize in Physics – 2021

 Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, and Giorgio Parisi have received the NobelPrize in Physics 2021 on the basis of “ridiculously important contributions” to the understanding of complex physical systems.

Manabe and Hasselmann will share the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics, for their work in quantifying climate variability and reliably predicting global warming through physical modelling.

“The discovery of how disorder and fluctuations interact in physical systems from the atomic scale to the planetary scale” prompted Giorgio Parisi to receive one-half of the price in Physics for the year 2021.

Professor Syukuro Manabe was born in Shingu, Japan in 1931. He earned a PhD from the University of Tokyo in 1957. He is a senior meteorologist at Princeton University in the United States of America.

Karl Hasselmann was born in Hamburg in 1931. He earned a PhD in 1957 from the University of Göttingen, Germany. He now works at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg.

Prof. Giorgio Parisi is from Rome, Italy. He received a PhD from the Sapienza University in 1970.
