Josefino Cacas Comiso

Josefino Comiso is an American


scientist. He was a leading physical scientist at
Goddard Space Flight Center and National
Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Comiso was born on September 21,


1940, in Narvacan, Philippines; the son of
Severino Cacho Comiso and Silvestra (Cacas)
Comiso. He came to the United States in 1964.

Comiso received a Bachelor of Science


degree in Physics from the University of the
Philippines in 1962. Four years later he earned
his Master of Science degree in Physics from
Florida State University. Also in 1972, Josefino
was given a Doctor of Philosophy degree in
Physics from the University of California at Los
Angeles.
Comiso began his career as a scientist at Philippine Atomic Research Center in 1962. A year
later he took a position of an instructor at the University of the Philippines, where he worked until 1964.
In 1972, Josefino became an assistant research physicist at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Then in 1973, he was appointed a research associate at the University of Virginia.

Also Comiso worked as a senior member of technical staff at Computer Sciences Corporation
from 1977 to 1979. Since 1979 he has been a leading physical scientist at Goddard Space Flight Center
and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In addition, Josefino was a visiting
scientist/professor at the University of the Philippines, University of Tasmania, Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, Chiba Universirty, Mariano Marcos University and Hadley Meteorological
Institute.
Comiso was instrumental on a global project observing the planet for rapidly declining
perennial sea ice cover, and produced a paper on the subject that has been cited over one thousand
times. Comiso's work has revealed the extraordinary rate at which Arctic ice is affected by global
warming, at approximately three times the intensity of the global average.
Comiso is a corresponding member of the Philippine National Academy of Science and
Technology, American Geophysical Union, American Physical Society, International Glaciological
Society, Philippine-American Academy of Science & Engineering, Japan Society for Promotion of
