    Solomon Hsiang directs the Global Policy Laboratory at Stanford University, where his team integrates social science, natural science, and data science to better understand how we can effectively manage global resources.

    Hsiang is currently a Professor of Global Environmental Policy at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, a co-founder and Co-Director of the Climate Impact Lab, co-founder of mosaiks.org, Research Associate at the NBER, and a National Geographic Explorer. Hsiang is also currently co-editing the Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change and co-leads the Aerial History Project.

    Hsiang earned a BS in Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science and a BS in Urban Studies and Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he received a PhD in Sustainable Development from Columbia University. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Applied Econometrics at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at Princeton University.

    Previously, Hsiang was faculty at the University of California, Berkeley at the Goldman School of Public Policy (2013-24). Hsiang was also Lead Author of the first Economics chapter in the Fifth National Climate Assessment (2023) and, from 2023-24, Hsiang served as the first Chief Environmental Economist at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where he oversaw the inaugural year of the United States natural capital accounting program.
