R. Alan Plumb

Alan Plumb is an expert in atmospheric dynamics, with specific interest in the stratosphere, the global distribution of trace gases, and large-scale tropospheric dynamics. His seminal research accomplishments include: many...

Ronald G. Prinn

Ron Prinn’s research incorporates the chemistry, chemical evolution, dynamics and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets. Current projects involve atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry, climate science, and...

Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli

Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli is a physical oceanographer whose interests include: investigation and modeling, both mathematical and numerical, of nonlinear coherent structures such as oceanic rings shed by western boundary currents and...

Daniel Rothman

Research Interests I am a theoretical scientist. My current interests focus on understanding how the organization of the natural world emerges from the interactions of life and the physical environment....

Leigh Royden

Research Interests I combine geology and geophysics to study the Earth’s crust, how it changes when tectonic plates collide, and how that activity is connected to processes deep in the...

Sara Seager

Professor Sara Seager is an astrophysicist and a Professor of Physics, Professor of Planetary Science, and a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she...

Noelle Eckley Selin

Noelle Selin is the Interim Director for MIT’s Institute for Data, Systems and Society and was previously Director of the MIT Technology and Policy Program. Her research uses modeling and...

Gene Simmons

Geophysicist Gene Simmons earned his BS in electrical engineering in 1949 from Texas A&M College, and an MS in Geology, with a minor in physics, from Southern Methodist University in...

Susan Solomon

Research Interests Within my group at MIT, we seek to understand chemistry-climate coupling—how atmospheric chemistry influences atmospheric behavior, and vice versa—at both poles of the Earth, as well as in...

Glenn R. Flierl

Research Interests I’m an oceanographer concerned with the theory of geophysical vortices and jets. In particular, I’m interested in modeling the physics, chemistry, and biology of strongly nonlinear ocean eddies...
