Papers of Charles David Keeling (1928-2005), an environmental chemist, founder of the Scripps CO₂ Program, and professor emeritus at UC San Diego. Dr. Keeling was considered the world's leading authority on atmospheric greenhouse gases and climate science. The collection includes correspondence, writings and reports, teaching and lecture materials, and documentation and data from the Scripps CO₂ Program.

Charles David Keeling (1928-2005) was born on April 20, 1928 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 1948, and completed his doctorate in Chemistry at Northwestern University under the supervision of Malcom Dole in 1954. After earning his PhD, Keeling accepted a postdoctoral fellowship in Geochemistry at California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

At Caltech, Keeling developed an accurate system for measuring the carbon dioxide concentration in the air, and he began taking air and water samples at remote locations in California and the Pacific Northwest. In 1956 Keeling was introduced to Harry Wexler, director of the U.S. Weather Bureau's Division of Meteorological Research, through a colleague at Caltech. Impressed by his methods, Wexler offered Keeling the job of leading the Weather Bureau's proposed CO₂ Program, to be undertaken during the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year (IGY). Wexler's offer also included an invitation to begin sampling at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, built by the Weather Bureau in 1955. Meanwhile, Dr. Norris Rakestraw, who had collected air samples for Keeling, brought Keeling's data to the attention of Dr. Roger Revelle, Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). Shortly after, Keeling received an offer from Revelle to conduct his Weather Bureau research at Scripps.

Keeling moved to La Jolla in August of 1956, with the IGY CO₂ Program scheduled to begin the following July. At the conclusion of the IGY, Keeling's CO₂ Program was extended with funding support from the NSF, which continued uninterrupted until budget cuts in 1964 (it was resumed shortly thereafter due to Keeling's persistent efforts). In 1966 Keeling became an SIO faculty member, and in 1968 he earned the title of professor of oceanography. In the 1960s and 1970s, the CO₂ Program extended sampling to remote locations all over the world, including stations in New Zealand, the Canadian Arctic, and several Pacific islands. During the later period of this expansion, program officers at the NSF and NOAA coordinated an effort to transfer full responsibility for global CO2 observations to NOAA, a threat that Keeling robustly resisted. In the early 1980s, the Department of Energy stepped in to stabilize Keeling's research program, and ultimately, the Scripps CO₂ Program evolved to coexist with a larger, parallel data collection program at NOAA.

Keeling was affiliated with SIO from the founding of the CO₂ Program in 1956 until his death in 2005. He published nearly 100 research articles on atmospheric chemistry and the carbon cycle, and wrote or contributed to innumerable reports on his data findings and related implications. Keeling's Mauna Loa Observatory measurements produced a data set now known widely as the "Keeling Curve," which graphically illustrates the impact of CO₂ concentrations in the air from fossil fuel combustion. His groundbreaking research and development of a continuous and precise record of Earth's atmospheric CO₂ concentrations earned him renown as the world's leading specialist in climate science. Keeling received many awards of recognition during his extensive career, including the National Medal of Science in 2002 and the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in 2005.

Charles David Keeling passed away on June 20, 2005 at his estate in Hamilton, Montana. Leadership of the Scripps CO₂ Program was resumed and continued by his son, Dr. Ralph Keeling.

Papers of Charles David Keeling (1928-2005), an environmental chemist, founder of the Scripps CO₂ Program, and professor emeritus at UC San Diego. Dr. Keeling was considered the world's leading authority on atmospheric greenhouse gases and climate science. The collection documents decades of Keeling's meticulous measurement of atmospheric CO₂ at land-based stations and on shipboard expeditions, his founding of and continuous leadership for the Scripps CO₂ Program, and his research.

The papers are arranged in two parts, both of which have several series. The first part consists of Keeling's personal and professional papers, including a small amount of biographical material, and significant correspondence, scientific writings, research, lectures, and meeting and event files. It also includes a small amount of family correspondence and materials relating to Keeling's activism in Del Mar local government and city planning. The second part consists of papers documenting the Scripps CO₂ Program, including funding, records from the major data-collecting stations, gas analysis and calibration files, and Keeling's comparative research drawn from the Scripps data (consisting largely of plots, figures, and graphs). These records document the evolution of the Scripps CO₂ Program from its founding in 1956 through the establishment of various field stations worldwide. Though the two sections of the collection are distinct, Keeling's life-long major research focus of atmospheric carbon dioxide measurement and analysis runs throughout both parts, and so there is topical overlap between them. Many of Keeling's writings, lectures, and research notebooks found in the first part of the collection are naturally related to carbon dioxide research and draw on data represented in the second part of the collection.

Personal and Professional Papers are arranged in nine series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) WRITINGS AND RESEARCH, 4) LECTURES, TALKS, AND PRESENTATIONS, 5) MEETINGS, CONFERENCE, AND EVENT FILES, 6) TEACHING MATERIALS, 7) UC SAN DIEGO, 8) WORKS BY OTHERS, and 9) CITY OF DEL MAR.

Scripps CO₂ Program Records are arranged in seven series: 10) CONTRACTS AND GRANTS, 11) ANTARCTICA, 12) SHIPBOARD, 13) MAUNA LOA, 14) NEW ZEALAND, 15) MISCELLANEOUS PROJECT FILES AND OTHER FIELD STATIONS, and 16) GAS ANALYSIS.

CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

Series 2) CORRESPONDENCE: Professional and personal correspondence arranged modelling Keeling's original organizational scheme. Keeling maintained a rough classification scheme for his correspondence, using the labels Academic, Personal/Private, Industrial, Government, Laboratory ("Reader's Copies"), Travel, Family, Meeting/Event, Contract/Grant, and Project/Program, as well as many "miscellaneous" files. To make this correspondence navigable, one cohesive alphabetical series was created which included the former Academic, Personal/Private, Industrial, Government, and Miscellaneous correspondence (which were already arranged in folders by correspondent). The vast majority of these letters relate to Keeling's research and academic interests. They are followed by the Laboratory correspondence, which consists primarily of outgoing carbon copies of letters, to and from various people, in his lab. Travel correspondence makes up a third small subseries, followed by a fourth subseries of restricted Family letters.

Other major categories of Keelings correspondence may be found elsewhere in the collection alongside related files: Meeting/Event-related letters coordinating his attendance at conferences are in series 5; Contract/Grant correspondence is in series 10 with other materials from funding agencies; and Project/Program letters are found within the Scripps CO₂ Program files, primarily in series relating to specific field stations (Antarctica, Mauna Loa, and New Zealand).

Arranged in four subseries: A) General Correspondence (A-Z), B) Laboratory Correspondence, C) Travel Correspondence, and D) Family Correspondence - Restricted.

A) General Correspondence (A-Z): Correspondence with colleagues, associates, and various organizations, including government agencies, arranged alphabetically.

B) Laboratory Correspondence: Outgoing correspondence (mostly carbon copies to and from CO₂ Project colleagues) and printed emails, arranged chronologically. Keeling referred to these as "Reader's Copies."

C) Travel Correspondence: A very small subseries consisting of letters between Keeling and his international colleagues while traveling in Europe, Africa, and Israel. Arranged alphabetically by travel destination, reflecting Keeling's original labelling.

D) Family Correspondence - Restricted: Correspondence between Keeling and his parents, siblings, children, extended relatives, and family friends. A small amount of professional letters were included in this subseries originally, and are under the same restrictions.

WRITINGS AND RESEARCH

Scope and Content of Series

Series 3) WRITINGS AND RESEARCH: An extensive series containing manuscript drafts and typescripts of scientific papers, notebooks, and research files, including Keeling's calculations and "worksheets" where he worked out mathematical formulas and concepts. This series contains draft versions and supporting materials for many, but not all, of the works in Keeling's bibliography. Since Keeling often worked on ideas for papers over many years, occasionally with collaborators, the materials are arranged in approximate chronological order by the date of creation (instead of by the date of eventual publication), and folder titles reflect the working title of the manuscript, notebook, or Keeling's original label for the work.

Arranged in three subseries: A) Notebooks and Coursework, B) Research Notes, and C) Papers and Manuscripts.

A) Notebooks and Coursework: Doctorate coursework from Northwestern University, notes on courses taught by SIO faculty, and notebooks on various subjects.

B) Research Notes: Handwritten loose notes on various subjects, some of which may have supported unidentified publications. Folder titles reflect Keeling's original labelling. Arranged chronologically.

C) Papers and Manuscripts: Includes written work ranging from Keeling's early research reports completed at Northwestern University and Caltech, drafts and figures prepared for publications, and drafts of articles and scientific papers created through 2005 (published and unpublished), in approximate chronological order by date of creation.
