Using computer representations that can capture the entire Earth system, geoscientist Geeta Persad conducts research that sheds more light on our climate future and solutions at hand.
Geeta Persad spent her childhood exploring the Texas Memorial Museum, auditing classes and attending evening lectures at The University of Texas at Austin. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in geophysics from Stanford University, she went on to earn a doctorate in atmospheric and oceanic sciences from Princeton University, where she was also a fellow in the Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy program. Now she is an assistant professor of climate science at the Jackson School of Geosciences. Dr. Persad’s research focuses on the critical role of particle air pollutants, also known as aerosols, in the climate system over space and time.
