These interdisciplinary courses were sponsored by ten different departments, from history to biology. He is co-editor, with climate scientists Steve Schneider and Michael Mastrandrea, of Climate Change Science and Policy (forthcoming, 2007). He and Schneider co-taught a graduate-level climate policy course five
times since 1998.

taught one of India 's first courses on environmental law. His
book, Environmental Law and Policy in India (2001), is widely used throughout India, where environmental law is a required law
school subject.
