Seth Berrin Shonkoff, PhD, MPH
Executive Director
Seth oversees the PSE staff and programs, advises the board, and plans the operational strategy to carry out the mission of PSE.
An environmental and public health scientist by training, Seth has more than 12 years of experience in water, air, climate, ecological, and population health research. He obtained his BA (2003) in the Department of Environmental Studies at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. Seth then went on to complete his MPH (2008) in epidemiology at the School of Public Health and his PhD (2012) in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management from the University of California, Berkeley. Seth has worked and published extensively on topics related to air and water quality and the environmental and public health dimensions of energy and climate change from scientific and policy perspectives. He has published on the interaction between the climate and human health dimensions of shorter-lived climate forcing emissions (i.e., ozone, black carbon, sulphate particles, etc.) and on the development of more effective anthropogenic climate mitigation policies that increase health and socioeconomic equity co-benefits. Most recently, his work has focused on the human health dimensions of unconventional energy production, including shale gas and oil production in the United States and abroad.
