Biography

Morgan holds an MPhil and PhD in Geography / Polar Studies from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania. She has expertise in multilateral climate policy, science diplomacy, international affairs, and cryosphere science, and currently serves as Director of the Climate Analytics North America Office. Morgan previously served as Senior Representative to the UN System for the International Science Council, working with intergovernmental organizations and countries’ UN Missions to strengthen the multilateral science-policy interface and advance evidence-based decision-making on critical global issues. Previous international science-policy experience includes work with the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research and the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat. Her earlier career was focused on science communication and support, including running informal science education programs in Colorado and California as well as working for the US Antarctic Program at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. As a PhD student and Gates Cambridge Scholar, Morgan examined the histories of science, policy, and social change in international spaces. In broad terms, she explored the "human" side of these shared spaces: how are they used? by whom? to what end? More specifically, her PhD thesis examined scientific institutions in Antarctica, asking how they evolved to become more gender inclusive over time. As part of this research, she was a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado Boulder and a SCAR Fellow hosted by the University of Tasmania.
