Chinese-born scientist (born 1963)
Shang-Ping Xie
[a] is a
climatology and
oceanography researcher who holds the Roger Revelle Chair at
Scripps Institution of Oceanography . Known best for his research on interaction between the world's
oceans and
atmosphere and on
El Niño–Southern Oscillation , Xie is noted as a
Highly Cited Researcher by
Clarivate .
[2]
Early life and education
Xie was born in
Quzhou in 1963.
[3] He entered university after the
Cultural Revolution had ended, and studied oceanography, though he had never seen the ocean before.
[4] His education includes:
[5]
He was a
visiting scientist to
Princeton University from 1991 to 1993, and a
research associate for the
University of Washington from 1993 to 1994.
[5]
Career
Xie had been employed at the
University of Hawaiʻi as a professor of
meteorology until he joined the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the
University of California, San Diego in 2012 as the inaugural Roger Revelle Chair,
[b]
[7] a title named for pioneering researcher
Roger Revelle ,
[8] established with an
endowment from the Revelle family.
[9] While at Hawaiʻi, he was faculty in the International Pacific Research Center of the
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology .
[10]
In April 2016, as a Scripps professor, Xie returned to the University of Washington as an endowed lecturer—he gave a lecture on
El Niño in the Graduate Students' Distinguished Visiting Lecture series.
[11]
Research
In 2013, a study co-authored by Xie and published in
Nature suggested that the
slowdown in global warming was tied to cooling in parts of the
Pacific Ocean .
[12]
[13] Further research into the slowdown was published in 2015, in the journal
Nature Climate Change .
[14]
[15] Xie has also published research on
modeling the role of human activity to global warming; a 2015 co-authored paper in
Nature Geoscience modeled the evolution of global temperature, creating a new method of tracking
anthropogenic global warming .
[16]
[17] The modelling was reported on again in 2016, when Xie and others modelled human activities' impact on warming.
[18] Other papers on climate change have included collaboration with authors affiliated with
Duke University and
University of Wisconsin–Madison .
[19]
[20] In 2019, Xie published research with scientists from the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , where they modelled
Hadley cells to predict changes in the
monsoon season of parts of Asia.
[21]
[22] In a 2022 article published by the
World Economic Forum and
The Conversation and co-authored by Xie, the authors claim that
tropical cyclones have been increasing in intensity over time.
[23]
In 2016, Xie was the organizer of a special issue of
Advances in Atmospheric Sciences .

[24]
Xie has been included as a
Highly Cited Researcher by
Clarivate in the field of
geosciences .
