Profile

Bio

Geeta G. Persad is a Research Associate in the Caldeira Lab at the Carnegie Institution for Science's Department of Global Ecology, where she studies the impacts of short-lived climate pollutants on regional and global climate using numerical models. She serves as acting Principle Investigator on Carnegie's multi-year National Science Foundation-funded collaboration with the University of California San Diego and Stanford University to assess the coupled climate and institutional dynamics of short-lived local pollutants and long-lived global greenhouse gases.

Dr. Persad also serves as Senior Climate Scientist in the Union of Concerned Scientists Western States Office where she leads technical analysis on their short-lived climate pollutant and water resources portfolios.

Dr. Persad received her PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and a certificate in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy from Princeton University, where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Ford Policy Fellow. Prior to her PhD, Dr. Persad served as a Physical Scientist in the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She holds a B.S. in Geophysics from Stanford University.
