Dale Rothman

Associate Professor

Modeling and Simulation, Climate Science, Environmental Science and Policy, Sustainability

I am currently doing research in the use of scenario development and integrated modeling as applied to social-ecological systems. My recent work has focused on applying these to issues related to climate change economics and policy, including new technologies for greenhouse gas removal and solar radiation management. As a new faculty member, I look forward to exploring opportunities to work with, among other groups, the Institute for a Sustainable Earth and the Center for Social Complexity.
