Jan Rosinski, Ph.D.
590 Ord Drive
Boulder, CO 80303

While still a student, Dr. Rosinski launched his academic career by sending Prof. Findeisen a letter contradicting his theory that debris from meteor showers stimulates rainfall. Findeisen was a pioneer in atmospheric physics and also, by the outbreak of WWII, a general in the German SS. Dr. Rosinski spent the war ostensibly as a student in Warsaw (where he was a member of the Polish Resistance), so the debate with Findeisen had to take a more subdued tone.

In 1968, Dr. Rosinski was appointed Chairman of Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry at the University of Bologna, Italy, and in 1976 received a Ph.D. in physics from Warsaw University.

In the U.S., he did contract research during the early years of the Cold War, sharing with Glenn Seaborg, his principal mentor, basic scientific attitudes, such as "I can't change the data to make you happy."

Dr. Rosinski was a program scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research for 30 years, on the general theme of the role of atmospheric particles in precipitation. Measurements at the heart of his 1996 paper proposing a connection between meteor showers and the formation of the "ozone hole" were taken almost 30 years earlier in an attempt to assess the validity of Findeisen's theory.

Dr. Rosinski's more than 100 publicly disclosed papers and patents have earned him an international reputation for scientific leadership.
