Senior Editor, The Economist
Description
I think about scientific, technological and planetary change. Currently a senior editor at The Economist.I have written four books: “Mapping Mars: Science, Imagination and the Birth of a World” (2002); “Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet” (2007); “The Planet Remade: How Geoengineering Could Change the World” (2015); and “The Moon: A History for the Future” (2019). They all deal with understanding and imagining planetary processes, most notably climate change on Earth. I am the chair of the trustees of The Degrees Initiative, an NGO devoted to putting developing countries at the centre of discussion of solar geoengineering, and the namesake of Asteroid 10716 Olivermorton
