Spencer Glendon

Spencer Glendon is working with Michael Toffel and Peter Tufano on research projects related to climate change. Spencer is dedicated to making climate science more accessible, useful, and intuitive so that everyone on Earth can build their climate literacy and mindfully prepare for the consequences that climate change is likely to bring. Spencer earned a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, where he focused on the history of urbanization and industrialization. In 2017, Spencer began collaborating with scientists, business leaders, designers, technologists, and educators to research the effects of climate change and to share those findings publicly. He founded Probable Futures in 2020 to help democratize climate science and build bridges between climate science and many other disciplines.
