Maggie DeLessio received her PhD in Earth and environmental sciences from Columbia University. She conducted her doctoral research at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), working at the interface of atmospheric chemistry and climate to study the effect of organic particles and wildfire emissions in the atmosphere. As the seminar organizer at NASA GISS, Maggie coordinated with experts working at the intersection of climate with other fields like economics, public health, and law. She is excited to apply her climate expertise and passion for interdisciplinary work to climate law and policy on the state and local scale.
