| On January 28, 2010, the Information Commissioner’s Office decided that UEA and Jones had breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming. In one e-mail, Professor Jones asked a colleague to delete e-mails relating to the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He also told a colleague that he had persuaded the university authorities to ignore information requests under the act from people linked to a website run by climate sceptics. | |||

Revision as of 08:11, 29 January 2010
For the journalist, see Phil Jones (journalist).Philip D. Jones (born 1952) is a climatologist at the University of East Anglia, notable for maintaining the time series of the instrumental temperature record; this work figured prominently in the IPCC TAR SPM. He was director of the Climatic Research Unit and a Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. He holds a BA in Environmental Sciences from the University of Lancaster, and an MSc and PhD from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. His PhD was titled "A spatially distributed catchment model for flood forecasting and river regulation with particular reference to the River Tyne". His research interests are instrumental climate change, palaeoclimatology, detection of climate change and the extension of riverflow records in the UK. He was a contributing author to the IPCC TAR chapter 12 Detection of Climate Change and Attribution of Causes. Together with Michael E. Mann, he has published on the temperature record of the past 1000 years.
CRU Email Hacking and Aftermath
On November 21, 2009, the Associated Press confirmed reports of a computer breach at the Climatic Research Unit in which documents and e-mails, including at least one written by Jones, were stolen and posted to the Internet. Two e-mails in particular - one referring to a "trick" with data and the other mentitioning "hide the decline" - were widely circulated. Jones said in a statement that "he word 'trick' was used here colloquially as in a clever thing to do. It is ludicrous to suggest that it refers to anything untoward." He did not address his use of the phrase "to hide the decline."
On 1 December the UEA announced that Jones would temporarily stand aside as director until the completion of an independent review, resulting from allegations of inappropriate scientific conduct following the hacking and publication of emails from the Unit.
