Jane Long

Dr. Jane Long is the former principal associate director-at-large for energy and environment at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She has been instrumental in our work on geoengineering, evaluation of nuclear power, and wastewater from the oil and gas industry. Dr. Long advises our participation in the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative — a joint effort of the Royal Society, The World Academy of Sciences and EDF — that seeks to promote good governance of research addressing solar radiation management, a form of geoengineering. She is a co-principal investigator on a joint project with Cornell designed to understand the possible strategic aspects of solar radiation management combined with carbon removal and mitigation. She also played a key role in helping EDF evaluate the role of nuclear power in the world's energy mix, by connecting EDF to experts on various issues related to advanced nuclear power and nuclear waste. In addition, Dr. Long has provided valuable expertise and networking in our work to accelerate the characterization and treatment of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing. Finally, she has provided advice and technical evaluations for EDF's legal defense of the Clean Power Plan and connected our team to other expertise to help bolster our arguments in court.
