Michael Oppenheimer is the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School and the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University. He is also the current Director of the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy (STEP) at the Woodrow Wilson School and Faculty Associate of the Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences Program, Princeton Environmental Institute, and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. He joined the Princeton faculty after more than two decades with Environmental Defense, a non-governmental, environmental organization, where he served as chief scientist and manager of the Global and Regional Atmosphere Program.

He serves as a lead author of the “Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change” and is a member of the National Research Council’s Panel on Climate Variability and Change. He is also a science advisor to Environmental Defense. In the late 1980’s, Dr. Oppenheimer and a handful of other scientists organized two workshops under the auspices of the United Nations that helped precipitate the negotiations that resulted in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. He is also a co-founder of the Climate Action Network. Oppenheimer is the author of more than 80 articles published in professional journals and is co-author of “Dead Heat: The Race Against The Greenhouse Effect”.
