Introduction of Dr. Jason Blake Cohen
Dr. Jason Blake Cohen is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research work is mainly on Climate Change. His specific foci are related to the use and development of models, integrating models with data, representation of non-linear processes such as urbanization and land-use change, and interactions between aerosols/Haze and the climate system.
Examples of work that Dr. Cohen is currently engaging include: (1) the yearly "Haze" events we face here, and how these are connected with properties of the present day and recent past land surface, atmosphere, and climate system; and (2) how these important non-CO2 related climate agents, such as Black Carbon and Organic Carbon aerosols, and Ozone (all components of the "Haze") are distributed in the atmosphere and hence are expected to impact the future climate system (such as long-term temperature and rainfall changes).
Recent past work has looked at improving the integration of models of atmospheric chemistry and climate, and integrating atmospheric chemistry and physics of aerosols from urban to global scales.Jason got his Sc.D. in 2010 from MIT under the mentorship of Prof. Ron Prinn.
