Ellie Lochner is an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Joint Global Change Research Institute under the Global Change Division. Her background is in applied mathematics and environmental science. Her research focuses on integrated modeling and analysis of economic, energy, and environmental systems, including the exploration of nuclear energy and enhanced oil recovery. She also has experience in model intercomparison and data system optimization. Lochner is on the core model development team for the Global Change Analysis Model and works on the development, application, and evaluation of the model.
