Sallie Baliunas is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences Division.
Baliunas received her M.A. (1975) and Ph.D. (1980) degrees in Astrophysics from Harvard University. In 1991 Discover magazine profiled her as one of America’s outstanding women scientists.
Baliunas’s main focus is on astrophysical research. She studies visible and ultraviolet spectroscopy of stars; structure, variations, and activity in cool stars; evolution of stellar angular momentum; solar variability and global change; adaptive optics; exoplanets of Sun-like stars.
Baliunas is a strong skeptic in regard to there being a connection between CO2 rise and climate change.
