National Academies Welcomes Kasey White to Lead Boards on Atmospheric Sciences, Climate, and Polar Research

"I've often relied on National Academies reports in my previous positions, so the chance to get hands on with this essential, evidence-based scientific work-that I and so many others depend upon - is a tremendous opportunity," said White. She previously worked at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Geosciences Institute, and Joint Oceanographic Institutions. White served as a co-editor of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, which was awarded a share of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. She holds a BA in Environmental Science and Policy from Duke University, an MA in Environmental Sciences from The Johns Hopkins University, and an Executive Certificate in Transformational Leadership from Georgetown University.
