About
Trevor G Underwood

Trevor Underwood was born in England in 1943, and became a US citizen in 2004. He earned a M.A. in theoretical physics at Cambridge University in 1965, and a M.Sc. in economics at the London School of Economics in 1967, followed by further graduate studies in international economics between 1967 and 1969 at the University of Rochester, NY, and Harvard University. Between 1969 and 1973, he worked for the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, and the UK Treasury, and was a UK Advisor to the Committee of Twenty on Reform of the International Monetary System. After this he founded and ran a treasury software business, before returning to scientific research in 2008, initially on human evolution. In November 2015, he published a paper “A new model of human dispersal” on bioRxiv.org, the online preprint archive for biology run by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Between December 2015 and November 2019, he wrote six papers on climate science, which were published in a book “The Surface Temperature of the Earth”. He then returned to theoretical physics to review progress since he left Cambridge in 1965, in particular on electromagnetic radiation, matter and gravity. A spin-off from this research, “Urbain Le Verrier on the Movement of Mercury – annotated translations”, was published in December 2021. In April 2023, he published “Quantum Electrodynamics – annotated sources. Volumes I and II”; in June 2023, “Special Relativity”; and in November 2023, “General Relativity”.
