He is best known for creation of the multitaper method of spectral estimation, first published in complete form in 1982 in a special issue of Proceedings of the IEEE.[3] Thomson's 1995 Science paper first conclusively showed the relationship between atmospheric CO2 and global temperature.[4] Thomson and Bell Labs colleagues Carol G. Maclennan and Louis J. Lanzerotti authored a 1995 Nature paper in which they showed evidence that the magnetic signatures of the Sun's normal modes permeate the interplanetary magnetic field as far as Jupiter.[5] He has written over 100 other peer-reviewed journal articles in the fields of statistics, space physics, climatology and paleoclimatology, and seismology.
Careeredit
Thomson joined the Technical Staff at Bell Labs in 1965, where he was assigned to work on the WT4 Millimeter Waveguide System and the Advanced Mobile Phone Service project. In 1983, he was reassigned to the Communications Analysis Research Department where he remained as a Distinguished Member until his retirement in 2001. During this time, he was
a Member of the Panel on Sensors and Electron Devices of the Army Research Laboratory Technical Assessment Board
chairman of Commission C of USNC-URSI
associate editor for Radio Science
associate editor for Communications Theory and for Detection and Estimation of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
adjunct professor in the Graduate Department of Scripps Institution of Oceanography
consulted at the Neurological Institute of Columbia University
visiting professor at Princeton University (statistical inference)
visiting professor at Stanford University (time series)
guest lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the Houghton lectures)
participant at the Isaac Newton Institute at the University of Cambridge
