Abstract
Eddy Cross‐Disciplinary Symposium on Sun‐Climate Research; Aspen, Colorado, 22–24 October 2010; In 1976, John Allen Eddy published a seminal article (see Science, 192(4245), 1189–1202) revealing a link between the Little Ice Age, which occurred during the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, and a period of low sunspot activity, which Eddy called the “Maunder Minimum.” This work placed Sun‐climate research on a firm scientific footing. Eddy passed away on 10 June 2009. Following Eddy's passions for education and cross‐disciplinary research, a symposium was held to expose talented college students to the science and politics of Sun‐climate research. Funding from NASA's Living With a Star Targeted Research and Technology program and from the High Altitude Observatory, Advanced Study Program, and Integrated Science Program of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supported keynote speakers and provided scholarships for 30 students (junior year to Ph.D.) from diverse disciplines. Eddy's wife, Barbara, led a session devoted to personal recollections. Spencer Weart (American Institute of Physics) gave an after‐dinner tribute using recordings of Eddy from a 1999 interview.
