Lauded climate scientist Steve Running takes buyout from University of Montana

Professor Steve Running, whose work on climate science shared in a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, accepted a buyout offer and retired in July from the University of Montana.

At UM 37 years, he launched the climate change minor there. Although enrollment has gone down at UM in recent years, enrollment in an introductory climate class had gone up 50 percent since the minor started in 2009.
