Why Is Joseph Alcamo Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Joseph Alcamo is a U.S. environmental scientist who served as Chief Scientist of the United Nations Environment Programme from 2009 to 2013. Career Alcamo received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1973 and a master's degree in environmental engineering from Manhattan College, and earned his PhD for civil-environmental engineering at the University of California. From 1973 to 1980, he worked as an environmental engineer in the private sector, before changing to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1981 and from there to the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria in 1982. From 1992 to 1996, Alcamo worked at the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. Since 1996, Alcamo is a professor at University of Kassel in Germany, working as the head of the university's Center for Environmental Systems Research. He has taken a temporary leave of absence from the institute, however, to work as the Chief Scientist for UNEP until 2013.
