I am a principal researcher at RAND and Director of RAND's Frederick S. Pardee Center for Longer Range Global Policy and the Future Human Condition. My research focuses on risk management and decision-making under conditions of deep uncertainty. I am a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a coordinating lead author for Working Group II of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report. I was the Inaugural EADS Distinguished Visitor in Energy and Environment at the American Academy in Berlin and the inaugural president of the Society for Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty (http://www.deepuncertainty.org).
