Dr. Jason M. Vogel has worked extensively on climate change issues, including work for EPA, the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme, the State of Alaska, the National Center on Energy Policy, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the Center for Climate Strategies, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and a number of localities and utilities. He also has worked extensively on evaluating the performance of nonprofit organizations and foundations, such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s “Pulling Together Initiative.” Dr. Vogel was trained as an atmospheric scientist and chemist before turning his attention to public policy. In addition to having a working knowledge of the science of climate change, he was trained in qualitative and quantitative methods for policy analysis, including the policy sciences heuristics for analyzing the policy process, social process, and policy problems; Q methodology; cluster analysis; statistics; and more. As a research assistant for the University of Colorado, Dr. Vogel researched and analyzed community responses to coastal flooding and erosion in Barrow, Alaska; helped a small community deal with the impacts of global climate change by providing useful technical and historical inputs to their planning decisions; and researched adaptation and mitigation innovations and national and international climate change policy in support of evolving local responses to climatic vulnerability.
