Stephen Schneider is co-director of CESP; a professor of biological sciences; a professor of civil and environmental engineering, by courtesy; and an FSI senior fellow. He is also co-director of Stanford's Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources. His current research focuses on food, climate and other environmental/science public policy issues; ecological and economic implications of climate change; assessment of global change; climatic modeling of paleoclimates and of human impacts on climate (e.g., the carbon dioxide "greenhouse effect"), and environmental consequences of nuclear war. He is also interested in advancing public understanding of science and improving environmental education in primary and secondary schools.
Schneider has served as a consultant to federal agencies and White House staff in the Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations. He was chair of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences' Section on Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences (1999-2001), and became a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in April 2002. From 1973 to 1996 he was a member of the scientific staff of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, where he co-founded the Climate Project.
He was honored in 1992 with a MacArthur Fellowship and also received, in 1991, the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Westinghouse Award for Public Understanding of Science and Technology, for furthering public understanding of environmental science and its implications for public policy.
He has authored or co-authored more than 200 scientific papers, proceedings, legislative testimonies, edited books and book chapters. In 1975 he founded the interdisciplinary journal Climatic Change, and continues to serve as its editor. He is also editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Climate. He frequently provides comment for print and broadcast media on climate and environmental issues. He received a BS and MS in mechanical engineering, and a PhD in mechanical engineering and plasma physics, all from Columbia University.
