Stephen J. Reid

Director, Earth System Atlas

Dr. Stephen Reid has joined the Environment Initiative team as Director of the Earth System Atlas. Educated in the United Kingdom, he has worked as a data manager for the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, and as a researcher for the University of Colorado (located at the NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory) where he investigated changes in atmospheric tracer transport, especially ozone, via data analysis and modeling activities.

From 2002–2005, he served as Associate Program Director for the Climate Dynamics, Paleoclimate and Atmospheric Chemistry Programs in the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric Sciences. He subsequently spent one year teaching Meteorology at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

As Director of the Earth System Atlas, Reid will engage and guide a team of experts to develop a powerful web-based data manipulation, visualization and learning tool, with an emphasis on global change and the environment, which will be tailored not only for the scientific community, but also for schools and the general public.
