David Battisti
David Battisti is the Tamaki Endowed Chair and an atmospheric scientist specializing in natural climate variability and its interactions with the ocean, atmosphere, land, and sea ice. His research focuses on climate variability over months to decades, the impacts of climate change on global food security, and the mechanisms behind abrupt climate changes during the last glacial period. He is a Fellow at Stanford’s Food Security Institute and an elected Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so. Faculty interested in the Climate Research Clusters program should note an upcoming deadline for concepts on April 1, 2024.
