h4. Research Domain:

energy and environment

h4. Research Methodology:

modeling and simulation, integrated assessment,&nbsp;economics, atmospheric science

h4. Research Description:

Rebecca is informing sustainability science and policy by creating an integrated assessment framework to study the links between energy and environmental policy, and their effects on economic prosperity, environmental outcomes, and income inequality.&nbsp;

In particular, she is interested in quantifying the air quality co-benefits of domestic climate and energy policies, and comparing their distributional implications.
