Robert M. "Bob" Carter,is an adjunct research professor in the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, Queensland. and the University of Adelaide South Australia, Australia He is a geologist specializing in palaeoclimatology, stratigraphy, marine geology, and environmental science. Carter is a former Director of Australia's Secretariat for the Ocean Drilling Program and a Co-Chief Scientist for drilling leg 181. ,

Career

Carter has published scientific papers on taxonomic palaeontology, the growth and form of the molluscan shell, New Zealand and Pacific geology, New Zealand maritime glaciation , Quaternary geology, stratigraphic classification, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology, the Great Barrier Reef. He has been made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

Carter is active in the media, volunteering letters and opinion pieces on science topics to a variety of newspapers, magazines and web magazines. Carter is a member of the conservative think tank the Institute of Public Affairs , was one of the founding members of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, and a founding member of the Australian Environment Foundation, an organisation set up by the Institute of Public Affairs. He is also a science adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute.

Global Warming

Carter is noted for having appeared in numerous media pieces on global warming, including the Australian public debate following the airing of The Great Global Warming Swindle documentary on ABC.. He has consistently challenged the consensus view on global warming and has addressed many academic, professional, and business organisations in this capacity.

Carter has published several critiques of anthropogenic global warming in economics journals, detailing scientific evidence he believes counters common presentations of anthropogenic warming., According to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald Professor Carter, whose background is in marine geology, appears to have little, if any, standing in the Australian climate science community.. However, he has published primary resarch in the related field of palaeoclimatology, investigating New Zealand's climate extending back to 3.9 Ma.,

Carter's website states that his research "has been supported by grants from competitive public research agencies, especially the Australian Research Council (ARC)," and that he "receives no research funding from special interest organisations such as environmental groups, energy companies or government departments." However, he is a member and adviser to the Institute of Public Affairs, a group that has received funding from corporate interests including oil and tobacco companies.
