Mark Jacobson
Mark Jacobson is a Professor at Stanford University in Civil and Environmental Engineering as well as, by courtesy, Energy Resources Engineering, director and co-founder of Stanford’s Atmosphere/Energy Program, and a Senior Fellow with Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy and Woods Institute for the Environment.
His research focuses on understanding the physical, chemical, and dynamical processes in the atmosphere better in order to address atmospheric problems, such as climate change and urban air pollution, with improved scientific insight and more accurate predictive tools. He also evaluates the atmospheric effects of proposed solutions to climate change and air pollution, examines resource availability of renewable energies, and studies optimal methods of combining renewables.
Jacobson has published two textbooks and over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles. In 2000, he discovered that black carbon may be the second-leading cause of global warming in terms of radiative forcing after carbon dioxide. This finding provided the original scientific basis for proposed U.S. Black Carbon Emissions Reduction Act of 2009, Arctic Climate Preservation Act and the Black Carbon Research Bill. In 2005, his group developed the first wind map of the world from data alone at the height of modern turbines.

Energy Resources Engineering
Adam Brandt
Adam Brandt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University. He is interested in reducing the environmental impacts of energy systems; more specifically, the study of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil energy sources. This is important because fossil energy sources will continue to be key components of our energy system for decades to come. Brandt’s main research interest is life-cycle analysis of the efficiency and environmental impacts of transportation fuels with the focus on the impacts of substitutes for conventional petroleum. Most recently, this has resulted in research on oil shale, which is a low-quality hydrocarbon resource. Another research topic is mathematical modeling of energy resources and resource depletion; specifically, methods of modeling oil depletion and transitions to oil substitutes. The motivator for this research is the likelihood that conventional fuels may soon be unable to meet growing fuel demand from developing economies. A new research focus at Stanford will be the design and optimization of carbon capture and storage systems.

Communication and Political Science
Jon Krosnick
Jon Krosnick is a Professor in Communication and Political Science at Stanford University. He is a social psychologist who does research on attitude formation, change, and effects, on the psychology of political behavior, and on survey research methods. His attitude research has focused primarily on the notion of attitude strength, seeking to differentiate attitudes that are firmly crystallized and powerfully influential of thinking and action from attitudes that are flexible and inconsequential. Many of his studies in this area have focused on the amount of personal importance that an individual chooses to attach to an attitude. Krosnick’s studies have illuminated the origins of attitude importance (e.g., material self-interest and values) and the cognitive and behavioral consequences of importance in regulating attitude impact and attitude change processes. Among the topics explored by Krosnick’s political psychology research are: how policy debates affect voters’ candidate preferences, how the news media shape which national problems citizens think are most important for the nation and shape how citizens evaluate the President’s job performance, how becoming very knowledgeable about and emotionally invested in a government policy issue (such as abortion or gun control) affects people’s political thinking and participation, how people’s political views change as they move through the life-cycle from early adulthood to old age, and how the order of candidates’ names on the ballot affect voting behavior.
