The Education For Sustainable Living Program will be hosting a lecture and discussion with Dr. Joan Ogden as part of their collaborative interdisciplinary effort to realize a sustainable community throughout the University of California.

Dr. Joan Ogden is Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis and an Associate Energy Policy Analyst and Co-Director of the Hydrogen Pathway Program at the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis). Her primary research involves technical and economic assessment of new energy technologies, especially in the areas of developing a hydrogen infrastructure for transportation, alternative fuels, fuel cells, renewable energy and energy conservation. Dr. Ogden's interests are especially focused on understanding and modeling hydrogen infrastructure development and the environmental and societal impacts of large-scale use of hydrogen as a transportation fuel.

Joan Ogden has served high-level committees for the U.S. Department of Energy on future energy technologies and strategies, participated in the U.S. DOE Hydrogen Vision and Roadmap process, and headed the systems integration team for the National Hydrogen Roadmap. She is now active in the H2A, a group of hydrogen analysts convened by the U.S. DOE to develop a consistent framework for analyzing hydrogen systems.
