Jon Proctor, PhD
Jon is an environmental economist with a background in agronomy, climate science, remote sensing and machine learning. He develops and applies new methods to empirically estimate anthropogenic impacts on climate and, in turn, on global socio-environmental systems. He is particularly fascinated by how light, water and temperature jointly determine crop growth and how high resolution imagery can be used to measure socio-environmental conditions. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow jointly at the Harvard Data Science Initiative and the Harvard Center for the Environment.
