As the climate continues to change at an accelerating rate, communities,
companies and individuals need to understand its implications and decide how
to deal with its impacts. The mission of Argos Analytics is to provide the data they
need to be able to do so, on a timely and affordable basis.

ROBERT DICKINSON
President and Founder

Before founding Argos Analytics, Robert Dickinson had more than 45 years of experience in technical and management roles in the computer and semiconductor industries, most recently as CEO of California Micro Devices, a public semiconductor company.  He previously held senior executive positions at Cirrus Logic and Western Digital and was CEO of two venture funded startups.  In addition to his role at Argos Analytics, Mr. Dickinson is a cofounder of the Climate Readiness Institute at the University of California, Berkeley and a member of its Advisory Group. He has also served as an advisor to several venture funded startups in solar electronics and battery technology.  He has an AB in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, an MS in physics from the University of Washington and was a Sloan Executive Fellow at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

DR. MARK SNYDER
Principal Scientist

Dr. Mark Snyder is a Project Scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He previously was an Associate Project Earth Scientist and Lecturer in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UCSC.  He was a Co-founder and Research Scientist at Climate Analytics Group, where he worked on statistical downscaling of global climate models for NASA and others.  Dr. Snyder’s research has included high resolution dynamical and probabilistic estimates of future temperature and precipitation, the role of heavy precipitation in climate projection variations and analysis of results from global and regional climate models.  Dr. Snyder has received funding for climate change research from the National Science Foundation, United States Department of Agriculture, and the California Energy Commission.  He has a BS in geology from the University of California, Davis and an MS and PhD in earth sciences from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

DR. PHILIP DUFFY
Advisor
