Shogren is the Stroock Professor of Natural Resource Conservation and Management at the University of Wyoming and a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a former senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisors in the Clinton White House and a recipient of a Royal Appointment as Professor to the King of Sweden.

As a member of the IPCC, and one of the lead authors of the panel’s third assessment report in 2001, Shogren is among an elite group of scientists who shared the award with Gore. Shogren’s contributions included work on a chapter that looked at the cost and benefits of climate control.
