My primary research interest is in improving communication between atmospheric scientists on the one hand and the general public and policy makers on the other hand. Miscommunication is delaying the implementation of effective policy intended to mitigate global climate change caused by human intervention. Solution to the problem of global warming will have to be formulated by policy makers working cooperatively with scientific experts. This global problem will require global cooperation and solutions. If there is to be rational and effective policy regarding global warming, policy analysts and the public need to be better understand the environment. Effective communication and education are paths to better use of scientific knowledge. A higher level of understanding can lead to better analysis and design of the best policies for reducing the rate of environmental change or adapting to it.
