... Her research develops methods for accounting for uncertainty and heterogeneity in both the effects of climate change and in preferences for how to address them. She has analyzed uncertainty associated with phenomena including ocean acidification's effects on coral reefs, the warming effect from an emission of carbon dioxide today, the social cost of carbon, and decadal climate variability's influence on international climate agreements.
From page 308...
... His work has focused on innovation policy for meeting sustainability and inclusivity challenges, energy innovation policy and strategies (in areas such as biofuels, clean cookstoves, coal power, automobiles, and institutional mechanisms such as climate innovation centers) , climate change policy and politics, capacity development, and higher education policy.
