Dr. Klaus Keller
Former Co-Principle Investigator and Collaborator
Klaus Keller, Hodgson Distinguished Professor of Engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, is a former Professor of Geosciences at The Pennsylvania State University, where he has worked from 2002 to 2021. Klaus is the Founding Director of the Penn State Center for Climate Risk Management and served as contributing author for the Fourth and Fifth IPCC Assessment Reports. His research addresses two interrelated questions. First, how can we mechanistically understand past and potential future changes in the Earth system? Second, how can we use this information to design scientifically sound, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate risk-management strategies? He analyzes these questions by mission- oriented basic research covering a wide range of disciplines such as Earth system science, engineering, decision science, statistics, economics, operations research, and ethics.
