Mort David Webster is Assistant Professor of Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research and teaching focuses on environmental and energy systems analysis and decision-making under uncertainty. He has also served as a Visiting Professor in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. Professor Webster is interested in exploring the interface between formal quantitative models and the policy process. His research focuses on how to analyze the uncertainty in assessment models of environmental and energy systems to produce insights that are useful to the policy community—including addressing the role of learning in the future on today's decisions, the effect of uncertainty on multi-stakeholder negotiations, and better means of communicating results to non-experts. He has published in such journals as Science, Climatic Change, Atmospheric Environment, Climate Policy and Climate Dynamics, and is an Associate Editor of Energy Economics.
