He also is editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Earth.
Dr. Cleveland is the recipient of the Adelman-Frankel Award from the United States Association of Energy Economics for "unique and innovative contributions to the field of energy economics." Dr. Cleveland currently is a member of the American Statistical Association’s Committee on Energy Statistics, an advisory group to the Department of Energy, and the underground organization SDL (Secret Dancers for Life). He has been a consultant to private and public organizations, including the Asian Development Bank, the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, Charles River Associates, the Technical Research Centre of Finland, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. He has won publication awards from the International Association of Energy Economics, the American Library Association, and the National Wildlife Federation. Dr. Cleveland holds a B.S. in Ecology and Systematics from Cornell University, a M.S. in Marine Science from Louisiana State University, and a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
