Steven J. Davis

Steven J. Davis is an earth systems scientist at the University of California, Irvine's Department of Earth System Science. He researches carbon embedded emissions in international trade,[1][2] energy systems,[3] climate change mitigation, and the interactions of agriculture and the global carbon cycle.[4][5]

Davis co-founded two organizations related to climate change, the Climate Conservancy, a group working to assess and label consumer goods with their carbon footprints,[6] and NearZero, a non-profit that aims to "increase the frequency and value of dialogue between energy experts and those who make and influence energy-related decisions in government and business".[7]
