Faculty

The faculty of ERG currently consists of 10 core professors of Energy and Resources and nearly 200 affiliated faculty and researchers holding appointments in a wide range of departments across the Berkeley campus. The current chair of ERG is Professor Daniel Kammen, who hold appointments in the Energy and Resources Group, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the Department of Nuclear Engineering.

List of ERG Affiliated Faculty (coming soon)

Please note that due to the high volume of requests ERG core faculty members receive, they are rarely able to accept short-term visiting students and may not respond to inquiries. If you have questions about ERG admissions, please refer to the ERG Admissions webpages or contact erggrad@berkeley.edu.

Andrew D. Jones

Adjunct Associate Professor

Dr. Jones is an Earth scientist who works at the interface of human and environmental systems. His research uses quantitative models and data analysis to understand climate change and human-Earth system interactions at decision-relevant scales. He also collaborates with social scientists and interacts closely with stakeholders to understand how science can effectively provide actionable insight into strategies for increasing resilience of energy water, food, and urban systems.

John P. Holdren

Professor Emeritus

Dr. John P. Holdren is Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).

Catherine Koshland

Professor Emeritus

Dr. Koshland’s research is at the intersection of energy, air pollution and environmental (human) health emphasizing mechanistic approaches as well as a systems perspective. It is conducted at multiple scales, from mechanistic analyses of combustion products in flow reactors to control strategies in urban airsheds to studies of human health.

Richard Norgaard

Professor Emeritus

Among the founders of the field of ecological economics, Dr. Norgaard's recent research addresses how environmental problems challenge scientific understanding and the policy process, how ecologists and economists understand systems differently, and how globalization affects environmental governance.
