The Bulletin is pleased to announce the addition of Inez Fung to its Science and Security Board (SASB). The SASB, made up of a distinguished group of globally recognized leaders focusing on nuclear risk, climate change, and disruptive technologies, provides the Bulletin with objective views on trends and issues in these fields.
Fung’s extensive knowledge of atmospheric science, meteorology, and ecology will be an asset to the board as the climate crisis rapidly unfolds. Her research on the global carbon cycle has highlighted the importance of the terrestrial biosphere in absorbing anthropogenic CO2. Fung has led joint studies on climate change and has been recognized with awards such as the Roger Revelle Medal and the C.G. Rossby Research Medal.
Bulletin President and CEO Rachel Bronson expressed her excitement about Fung joining the SASB. “Inez Fung’s expertise in atmospheric science will bring valuable insights to our board,” said Bronson. “Her work in climate modeling and biogeochemical cycles has been essential in combating the climate crisis.”
Fung currently serves as a Professor of Atmospheric Science at UC Berkeley. In addition to her role on the SASB, she is also a member of prestigious scientific academies including the US National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society. Her expertise and accomplishments make her a valuable addition to the Bulletin’s team.
