Keith R. Briffa (* 1952) is a climatologist employed by the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. In his professional work, he focuses on the climate change in late Holocene, with a special focus on northern portions of Europe and Asia. Briffa's preferred method is dendroclimatology, a set of procedures to decode the information about the past climate from the width of the tree rings.
