As senior climate advisor, she provides insights recommendations for the agency\u2019s climate-related science, technology, and infrastructure programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calvin will serve in this capacity under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program, which provides for the temporary assignment of personnel between the federal government and state and local governments, colleges and universities, Indian tribal governments, federally funded research and development centers, and other eligible organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2008, Calvin has been an Earth scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI) in College Park, Maryland. She worked in JGCRI’s Global Change Analysis Model, a system for exploring and analyzing the relationships between human and Earth systems in the context of global climate change.\u202fShe also worked on the Department of Energy\u2019s Energy Exascale Earth System Model, a system for analyzing the past, present, and future state of the Earth system. Her research simulates the interaction between global resources, focusing on the impact of land, water, and energy use through an environmental and socioeconomic lens.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calvin has co-authored over 150 publications. Her recent publications have investigated growing populations against agriculture and water scarcity in the face of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 2023, Calvin was selected as Co-Chair of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the 7th assessment cycle. She has contributed to previous IPCC reports, including two special reports, the Working Group III report, and the synthesis report. Calvin also served on a\u202fNational Academy of Sciences\u202fresearch committee on models of the world, which was commissioned by the\u202fNational Geospatial Intelligence Agency\u202fto create models for interrelated global systems such as economics, politics, and environment. She contributed to the third U.S.\u202fNational Climate Assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calvin received her doctorate in Management, Science, and Engineering from Stanford University and a bachelor of science in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Maryland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Katherine Calvin was appointed as NASA\u2019s Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor to Administrator Bill Nelson on Jan. 10, 2022.
