معرفی
Megan Lickley is an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University, holding dual appointments in the Graduate Earth Commons and the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. Her research focuses on the drivers and impacts of climate change, integrating atmospheric science, mathematics, and policy to assess outcomes such as water resource management, rapid warming durations, and sea level change. She has contributed to the International Ozone Assessment, analyzing compliance with the Montreal Protocol and its implications for ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases.
Dr. Lickley earned her Ph.D. from MIT and has extensive international experience: she taught mathematics in the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Catholic University of Bukavu and consulted for the World Bank in Uganda on climate change impact reports. Her work bridges disciplinary boundaries, employing Bayesian modeling and statistical frameworks to address global environmental challenges.
Her research highlights include evaluating halocarbon emissions, stratospheric halogen levels, and the timing of precipitation change signals using advanced statistical methods. She has also explored adaptive water supply planning under climate uncertainties, emphasizing the role of learning in infrastructure resilience. Her findings underscore the urgency of policy-driven mitigation strategies and equity-focused adaptation measures in climate-sensitive sectors.
Notably absent from her profile are formal lists of students or named awards, though her contributions to international climate assessments reflect her scholarly impact. Her work spans theoretical modeling, policy analysis, and applied environmental research, addressing both scientific and societal dimensions of climate change.
