Katharine Ricke

Katharine Ricke is an Assistant Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, specializing in climate intervention science and climate-economy interactions. Her research bridges atmospheric physics, policy analysis, and impact assessment methodologies.

Core research areas include solar geoengineering feasibility, climate-economy modeling, emission pathway analysis, and regional impact assessments. Recent work assesses regional climate intervention strategies, wealth transfer mechanisms for equitable climate action, and methodological improvements in impact modeling.

Ricke's publications demonstrate strong integration of physical climate science with socioeconomic analysis, particularly regarding climate intervention governance and economic equity dimensions. Emerging work focuses on regional climate modulation techniques and reconciliation of physical-statistical modeling approaches.
