Bio/Research

The research interests of Ron Prinn, a faculty member at MIT since 1971, incorporate the chemistry, dynamics and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical evolution of atmospheres. He leads the AGAGE network that measures rates of changes of the concentrations of trace gases involved in the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion. He works with social scientists to link the science, economics, and policy aspects of global change. Prinn has co-developed a model which couples economics, climate dynamics, and land and ocean ecosystems to elucidate uncertainties in climate predictions.
