Air Pollution and Climate Change
Dr. Philip Stevens

September 14, 2006

Philip Stevens received a B.A. with honors in chemistry from Oberlin College in 1984, and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Harvard University in 1990. Before joining the faculty at Indiana University in 1995, Prof. Stevens was a research associate in atmospheric chemistry at The Pennsylvania State University.

Professor Stevens' research and teaching interests focus on the characterization of the chemical mechanisms in the atmosphere that influence regional air quality and global climate change. He is a recent recipient of a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation, and is a member of the Indiana State Air Pollution Control Board.

Professor Stevens' research group recently participated in the MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations) project Ð an international measurement campaign involving over 400 scientists designed to study the impact of the emissions from megacities like Mexico City on regional air quality and global climate change. He will talk about his current research involving the relationships between air pollution and climate change.
