ABOUT ME
Brian Von Herzen obtained his A.B. in Physics, Magna Cum Laude, from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in Computer and Planetary Science from Caltech where he was the recipient of the prestigious Hertz Fellowship (http://www.hertzfoundation.org). While at Princeton, Brian spent four years working closely with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. At Princeton his dissertation was on global climate models and how the Earth's climate changes. During his Caltech years Brian worked on models being developed for terraforming Marsâa problem related to Earthâs climate change challenge. From these experiences he acquired a detailed understanding of the Earthâs carbon cycle and envisioned a solution to global warming using a technology-based complex of natural biogeochemical interactions.
PHILOSOPHY
