Overview

Joeri Rogelj is affiliated with Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with significant contributions to subfields including global and planetary change, economics and econometrics, renewable energy, sustainability and the environment, atmospheric science, and mechanical engineering.

The main topics covered in Rogelj's work include atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, climate change policy and economics, climate variability and models, COVID-19 impact on air quality, energy, environment, and transportation policies, carbon dioxide capture technologies, and climate change and geoengineering.

Recent publications by Rogelj include:

  • Net-zero emissions targets are vague: three ways to fix (2021, Nature)
  • Current and future global climate impacts resulting from COVID-19 (2020, Nature Climate Change)
  • Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes (2021, Science)
  • Pandemic, War, and Global Energy Transitions (2022, Energies)
  • The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report WGIII climate assessment of mitigation pathways: from emissions to global temperatures (2022, Geoscientific Model Development)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Rogelj include Robin Lamboll, Piers Forster, Carl-Friedrich Schleußner, Glen P. Peters, and Chris Smith.

Rogelj frequently publishes in several scientific venues, with multiple contributions to:

  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Nature Climate Change
  • Environmental Research Letters
  • Nature
  • Science

In addition to journal articles, Rogelj has contributed to book publications, notably with the United Nations Environment Programme eBooks. This includes the 2024 publication titled Emissions Gap Report 2024: No more hot air... please! With a massive gap between rhetoric and reality, countries draft new climate commitments.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a career in Ecology and Evolution often overlaps with other scientific and health-related fields. Many students consider online programs for their flexibility and accessibility, especially when transitioning from different academic backgrounds. For those interested in clinical or health sciences, you might look at accredited speech pathology programs that meet rigorous industry standards, ensuring high-quality education and professional recognition.

If your undergraduate degree isn’t in speech-language pathology, there are accessible online bridge programs non-SLP majors can use to transition into this rewarding path. Similarly, those interested in nursing but with non-nursing degrees can pursue the best online bsn programs for non nurses. These flexible programs allow for a career shift without starting from scratch.

Some ecology and evolution graduates also explore health-related careers with advanced degrees, such as psychiatric nurse practice. Understanding potential income can help shape your decision, so refer to dnp psychiatric nurse practitioner salary by state for insights into earnings potential. Whatever path you choose, online programs offer adaptable options to launch your next career in science, health, or research.
