Steven J. Davis is an earth system scientist at the University of California, Irvine's Department of Earth System Science.
Biography
From 2001-2004, Davis worked as a corporate lawyer at Gray, Cary, Ware & Freidenrich, LLC in Palo Alto, California advising venture-backed start-ups in Silicon Valley. He received his Ph.D in Geological and Environmental Sciences in 2008 from Stanford University.[1] He then worked as a post-doctoral researcher with Ken Caldeira at the Carnegie Institution for Science's Department of Global Ecology from 2008 to 2012.[2]
Education
Davis received his undergraduate education at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, his Juris Doctor at the University of Virginia School of Law, and his doctorate from Stanford University.[3]
Research
Davis researches embedded emissions of carbon dioxide and air pollution in international trade,[4][5][6] energy systems,[7] carbon lock-in,[8][9] the quantities and causes of greenhouse gas emissions,[10][11] and the interactions of agriculture and the global carbon cycle.[12][13]
