Quoting College of Arts + Sciences News: "Membership in the ICCL is limited to fewer than 20 current scientists; Professor Kravitz will be the sole American member of the international commission of experts.
'The organization that I've been invited to join is one of the international commissions that is part of the IUGG, which is comprised of 59 regular member countries and 15 associate member countries,' said Professor Kravitz. 'The IUGG is dedicated to the international promotion and coordination of scientific studies of Earth, and within the atmosphere section, called the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), they have a focus area on climate, and that's the commission that I've been invited to join.'
The IUGG encourages the application of scientific knowledge to societal needs, and Kravitz’s main area of research is climate engineering, which involves major interventions to counter climate change."
