Recipients of the school’s annual Excellence in Teaching Awards are selected based on nominations from students, faculty, and alumni.

Graduates of the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences have the skills and knowledge to persevere in the face of new challenges and uncertainty, according to Dean Stephan Graham.

The projects – funded by Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), and the Bits & Watts Initiative – are the first two Precourt Pioneering Projects. 

Inês Azevedo, Sally Benson, Adam Brandt and Jacques de Chalendar received funding to explore how policies and people shape the needed transition to sustainable energy systems and its distributional/equity consequences.

Jon will be using data analysis tools to ensure producers are following regulations.

Madalsa will be working in the Office of Commissioner Martha Guzman Aceves and helping with evaluating the new net metering policy for California.

Tapas will be working on Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) refueling.

Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF), one of the greatest honors that Stanford gives to a doctoral student pursuing interdisciplinary research. 

To foster the market for new and tangible carbon removal technologies, Climate Vault convened a Technology Experts Chamber to assess, evaluate and measure impact. The chamber is comprised of the industry’s top minds in CO2 removal, energy and policy. 

Energy resources engineering student Dylan Crain received first place in the MS category and electrical engineering student Tim Anderson received first place in the PhD category. 

Sally Benson, an expert in low-carbon energy systems, discussed flexible standards for clean electricity. "Mandate the goals", she said, "not how states get there."

Professor Brandt is one of the pioneers in measurement of carbon intensity for the oil and gas industry.

This award supports graduate thesis research conducted at a DOE laboratory or facility that addresses scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission.

Three engineering institutions, three female presidents.

Sally Benson suggested, “making it cheaper for businesses to invest in carbon capture and storage is the best way to immediately reduce fossil fuel emissions.”
