Steven J. Smith

Earth Scientist

Biography

Smith’s research has focused on long-term socioeconomic scenarios, the interface between socioeconomic systems and the climate system, and the interactions between air pollution and climate. Smith is principal investigator of the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS) project that produces global historical air pollutant emissions over the industrial era (1750-present). Smith also works with the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), which he and collaborators are currently using to examine multi-sector interactions between the energy system and air-pollutant emissions from global to regional scales.

Prior to joining PNNL in 1999, Dr. Smith worked with Dr. T.M.L. Wigley as a project scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emissions Scenarios.
