Carrie Masiello

Rice University

Director of the Sustainability Institute

Masiello is is the W. Maurice Ewing professor at Rice University in Houston, Texas, where she also directs the Rice Sustainability Institute. She is a biogeochemist interested in developing new tools to understand the processes that control carbon, nitrogen, and water fluxes through the Earth system. Theoretical aspects of her research include development of new tools to measure carbon movement between the atmosphere, soils, and the ocean, including new synthetic biology tools to address climate and carbon problems. Her applied research uses these tools to improve policy related to carbon markets and greenhouse gas removal.

    Carbon Credits: Opportunities and challenges as a policy tool

    Climate & Sustainability

    Carbon credits are a vital tool in tackling climate change. How do carbon credits incentivize emission reductions and drive innovation? With offsets a key strategic tool for companies and countries to meet net-zero goals, how are companies using offsets in their strategic planning and investment decisions as they navigate the path to energy transition? What are the benefits and limitations of using offsets as a tool to address climate change?
