IIASA
No less than 10 IIASA researchers have made it onto the Reuters Hot List – the media giant’s ranking of the world’s most influential climate scientists – with IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program Director, Keywan Riahi, claiming the top spot.
The Reuters Hot List of climate scientists identifies the world’s 1,000 most influential scientists, using a combination of three rankings. These are based on the number of papers a scientist has published on topics related to climate change; how often those papers are cited by other scientists in similar fields of study; and how often those papers are referenced on other channels including the lay press, social media, and policy papers.
