Stefan Rahmstorf (born 1960). Since 2000, a Professor of Physics of the Oceans at Potsdam University. PhD in oceanography at Victoria University of Wellington in 1990. His work focuses on the role of ocean currents in climate change.

In 1999 Rahmstorf was awarded the $ 1 million Centennial Fellowship Award of the US-based James S. McDonnell foundation. Rahmstorf is a member of the Panel on Abrupt Climate Change and of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU).
