Committee on Climate, Energy, and National Security
Biographical Sketches of Committee Members
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS), through its National Research Council (NRC), will facilitate the increased involvement of scientists in answering questions related to climate and environmental change, energy, natural disasters, and national security. The goal is both to advance scientific understanding of global climate and other environmental and disaster-related phenomena, and consider the implications for both fundamental scientific understanding and national security.
The Committee on Climate, Energy, and National Security is a source of strategic guidance to national security-related climate change, environmental science and natural disaster research conducted as part of the federal sponsor's global climate change research activities. The Committee will obtain input, as needed, from other activities and reviews of specific applications of national classified assets and data sets for scientific studies of climate, energy, natural disasters, and related security questions, and interact with the intelligence community to understand and evaluate the significance of research findings and priorities. The Committee will also review progress and provide planning guidance on other specialized investigations/tasks requested by the government.
