NYC (STEADY) STATE: AIR
Stuart Gaffin was scheduled to speak at CCNY yesterday...I missed it...overslept...sadly.
Stuart R. Gaffin is an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), which he joined in March 2000. Prior to CIESIN, Dr. Gaffin was a Senior Scientist at Environmental Defense (formerly EDF) in New York City, where he worked within the EDF Atmosphere Program on climate change policy and science for 12 years. He has held two postdoctoral positions at Exxon Corporate Research and Yale University's Geophysics Department. For the past several years, Dr. Gaffin has been active with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), focusing on emissions scenarios for greenhouse gases over the next century. He was a lead author of the recent IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES), and was responsible for the demographic analyses that went into the report. He now specializes in the nexus between climate change, population and development and environmental sustainability. He was a consulting scientist with the recent World Commission on Dams and focused on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide and methane) from flooded vegetation in dam reservoirs in the tropics including Brazil.
Dr. Gaffin received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1978, and a Ph.D. in Climatology/Geophysics from New York University's Earth Systems Group in 1986. He is a frequent panelist and lecturer on climate change and has published extensively on many aspects of the science and policy issues, including within the popular media.
