He served as a freshman advisor from 1971 to 1976 and as a faculty resident at Baker House from 1974 to 1977. He currently directs the MIT Center for Global Change Science and co-directs the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the MIT Press and the Executive Committee of the MIT Council on the Global Environment. He is a past member of MIT's J.R. Killian Award Selection Committee, MIT's Committee on Graduate School Policy, and MIT's Committee on Toxic Chemicals. Scientific Experience: Dr. Prinn's principal research interests involve the chemistry, dynamics and physics of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical evolution of atmospheres. Dr. Prinn is currently Principal Investigator on a wide range of projects in atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry, planetary science, climate science, and integrated assessment of science and policy regarding climate change. Support for these projects comes from several U.S. Federal agencies (NSF, NASA, NOAA, EPA, DOE), national and international industrial sponsors (TEPCO, EPRI, Exxon, BP, Shell, ABB, RWE/Rheinbraun, Chevron, Arco, Mobil, Petrofina, Saudi Arabian Oil Company, Statoil, Texaco, the American Automobile Manufacturers Association [Ford, General Motors, Chrysler]), the Norwegian Ministries of Industry and Trade, Finance, Foreign Affairs, and Environment, and The J. Unger Vetlesen Foundation. Advisory Activities: Dr. Prinn is an associate editor for the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres (AGU) and a member of the editirial board of the International Journal of Environment and Pollution. He has previously served as Editor for atmospheric sciences for EOS (AGU) and Associate Editor of Global Biogeochemical Cycles (AGU). He has served or is currently serving on the following scientific advisory committees: UCAR University Relations Committee NASA Outer Planetary Probes Science Study Group AGU Planetology Section Nominations Committee and their Evolution NASA Advisory Council Innovation Subcommittee NAS/NRC Space Science Board Chairman, NAS/NRC Committee on Earth Sciences NASA Steering Committee for the Global Habitability Study NASA/SSEC Working Group for Terrestrial Planet Atmospheres American Meteorology Society Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry NAS/NRC US Committee for an International Geosphere-Biosphere Program Co-chairman, NSF/NASA/NOAA Global Tropospheric Chemistry Program 1974-1977 1974-1975 1975 1976-1977 1977-1978 1977-1981 1978-1995 1979 1981-1984 1982-1984 1982 1981-1982 1982 1983 1983-1985 1983-1986 1983-1987 1984-1986 1985-1986 Plan Steering Committee NAS/NRC/COSEPUP Research Briefing Panel on Remote Sensing of the Earth AGU Committee on Earth as a System NAS/NRC Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry NAS/NRC Committee on Mars Sample Return IUGG/AMAP International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution Chairman, IGBP/IAMAP International Global Atmospheric Chemistry NAS/NRC Committee on Cooperation with the USSR in Planetary Science NAS/NRC US National Committee for SCOPE NASA Space Science and Applications Advisory Committee ICSUДGBP Scientific Committee NASA Network for Detection of Stratospheric Change Steering Committee 1975 NASA Workshop Dr. Prinn has also participated in the following studies/workshops which produced published proceedings: 1982 NASA Workshop 1992 Chair, NATO Advanced Research Workshop 1993 Chair, First IGAC Scientific 1994 AGU = ICSU IGBP = JPL = Research Biogeochemical Ocean-Atmosphere Transfers Conference Atmospheric Biospheric Chemistry UCAR/OIES Global Change Institute Integrated Assessment Modeling American Geophysical Union = = International Council of Scientific Unions = Jet Propulsion Laboratory WCRP = International Association of Meteorology and National Research Council 1984-1986 1985 1986-1987 1986-1988 1986-1988 1987-1989 1987-1989 1987-1995 1988-1995 1989 1989-1990 1990-1992 1990-1992 1990-1995 1990-present National Aeronautics and Space University Corporation for Atmospheric 1970: Jupiter's clouds: structure and composition.
