Ronald G. Prinn is an atmospheric scientist renowned for pioneering methods to track emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and linking climate science to policy. His research integrates chemistry, chemical evolution, and the dynamics of physical atmospheres across Earth and other planets. Currently, he leads significant projects in atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry, specifically in the realm of climate science and integrated assessment related to climate change policy. Prinn heads the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), which measures the rates of change in concentrations of trace gases that affect the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion. He has notably used inverse methods in combination with AGAGE measurements and 3D models to ascertain trace gas emissions and better understand atmospheric chemical processes. Since joining MIT in 1971, he has held numerous high-profile positions, including the Head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences from 1998 to 2003, and contributing extensively to linking scientific inquiry with economic and policy concerns surrounding global change.
