Jeremy Richardson
Senior Fellow for Science Policy
Jeremy Richardson is the Senior Fellow for Science Policy at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. With a background as a research scientist and a policy expert, he studies the science and impacts of climate change and the policy implications of the latest science.
Dr. Richardson served most recently as the 2007-08 AAAS Roger Revelle Fellow in Global Stewardship, working with The Climate Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the science of global warming. Prior to that, he served as the John Bahcall Public Policy Fellow at the American Astronomical Society. Dr. Richardson spent over six years at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (three as a graduate student and three as a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow) characterizing the atmospheric properties of a planet over 150 light years away. His research culminated in the first observed emission spectrum of a planet outside the solar system and revealed tantalizing evidence for the composition of the planet’s atmosphere, a discovery featured in the New York Times in February 2007.
Dr. Richardson earned a Ph.D. (2003) and M.S. (2000) in Physics from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a B.S. (1997) in Physics from West Virginia University.
