Rutgers Earth System Science & Policy Lab

The Rutgers Earth System Science & Policy Lab takes a transdisciplinary, computationally intensive approach to investigating the evolution of the Earth system, human influences on the Earth system, and policy approaches for managing those human influences. We heavily employ the techniques of Bayesian statistics, geophysical and geochemical modeling, integrated assessment modeling, and quantitative risk analysis.

The Earth System Science & Policy Lab is housed within the Rutgers Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences and the Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. We are one of the core partners in the Climate Impact Lab.
