Biography

Mark Z. Jacobson’s career focuses on understanding air pollution and global warming problems by developing large-scale clean, renewable energy solutions. He has created and applied three-dimensional atmosphere-biosphere-ocean computer models to simulate air pollution, weather, climate, and renewable energy. Jacobson has developed roadmaps to transition states and countries to 100% clean, renewable energy and uses computer models to examine grid stability in the presence of high penetrations of renewable energy.
