Dr. Thomas P. Seager
Arizona State University
Thomas P. Seager is the Senior Sustainability Scientist, Global Institute of Sustainability, a professor and the Lincoln Fellow of Ethics and Sustainability in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, at the Arizona State University.
Dr. Seager conducts research related to environmental decision analysis, and the life-cycle environmental impacts of alternative energy technologies. He joined the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University in 2010, and has previously taught at Rochester Institute of Technology and Purdue University. His formal education is in Civil & Environmental Engineering, in which he earned his Ph.D. from Clarkson University.
Dr. Seager’s work combines life-cycle assessment of emerging energy technologies with cutting-edge analytic tools in stochastic multi-criteria decision analysis to form a novel basis for analysis of energy issues. He is pioneering a new approach called anticipatory life-cycle assessment that combines laboratory and pilot-scale experimentation with technology forecasting to improve the developmental trajectory of novel energy technologies with respect to the environment. The approach has been applied to a permanent military base in the context of conflicting policy or stakeholder perspectives, and prioritizing the need for more information, and making investment decisions.
