Brian P. Flannery is a physicist who variously worked as an astrophysicist and as a climate modeller for ExxonMobil. He is known for being a co-author of Numerical Recipes, a widely used series of textbooks describing useful algorithms.
Flannery obtained his undergraduate degree in astrophysics from Princeton University in 1970 [1] and his doctorate from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1974, under the supervision of John Faulkner. [2] As an astrophysicist, he published work on cataclysmic variable stars and other interacting binaries until 1982.
In 1980, he joined ExxonMobil as a climate modeler and subsequently became a manager in 1998. [3] He previously participated in Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [4] and continues to contribute to research on the mitigation of climate change. [5] He has at times been accused of participating in effort's by ExxonMobil to undermine action against climate change. [6]
