{{#badges: Climate change}}Professor '''Robert (Bob) Carter''', is "a researcher at the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University", [[Australia]]. [http://myprofile.cos.com/glrmc] In a byline with an op-ed published in the ''Sydney Morning Herald'' in September 2005, he was described as an "experienced environmental scientist" [http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2005/09/28/1127804546992.html], but a March 2007 article in the same paper noted that "Professor Carter, whose background is in marine geology, appears to have little, if any, standing in the Australian climate science community." [http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/minchin-denies-climate-change-manmade/2007/03/14/1173722560417.html] He is a well known [[Global warming controversy|climate change skeptic]].
Carter is was a speaker at the [[International Conference on Climate Change (2009)]], organized by the [[Heartland Institute]] [[think tank]]. <ref>"[http://www.heartland.org/events/NewYork09/speakers.html Speakers]," Heartland Institute website, accessed January 2009.</ref> Carter is also listed as a speaker for the Heartland Institute's June 2009 [[Third International Conference on Climate Change]].<ref>Heartland Institute, [http://www.heartland.org/events/WashingtonDC09/speakers.html "Speakers"], Heartland Institute, accessed May 7, 2009.</ref>
Carter could well be described as "a prominent research geologist with a personal interest in the issue of climate change," from his list of [http://members.iinet.net.au/~glrmc/new_page_4.htm research papers]. He has extensive experience of paleoclimatic research, including participation in [[Ocean Drilling Program]] Leg 181 in the southwest Pacific, which described the benchmark 4 million year-long, mid-latitude climate record from Site 1119 [http://members.iinet.net.au/~glrmc/Carter&Gammon-Science-04.pdf].
