Biographical Information

"Paul Sperry is an interdisciplinary scientist with a passion for identifying universal patterns within seemingly disparate disciplines and schools of thought. Having degrees in chemistry and systems science, he left traditional academia to investigate growing evidence of changes within the Earth system. Other interests include ancient archeology, sacred sites and earth energies, evidence for a more advanced human history than presently accepted, and parallels between science and spirituality. Paul’s pursuit of innovative science resulted in the creation of an interdisciplinary research program that to date has awarded over $2M for research extending the boundaries of traditional science. Other endeavors where he has supported academic excellence include the University of Colorado’s Conference on World Affairs and the Society for Scientific Exploration. Mr. Sperry began his career as a research scientist for 3M Company where he adapted new technologies into marketable products. His career was interrupted during the Viet Nam war where he saw combat as an F‑111 aircrew member. ­He subsequently moved to the National Center for Atmospheric Research where he worked on acid rain, Arctic haze, stratospheric ozone, pollutant photochemistry and eventually became the Associate Director for NCAR’s Atmospheric Chemistry Division. He left in 1998 to assume the role of Executive Director with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environment Sciences, an institute of over 500 researchers, faculty, students and staff at the University of Colorado. He left CIRES in 2006 to pursue independent research that continues today. "
