From 1993–2002, Dr. MacCracken was on assignment from LLNL to the interagency Office of the [[U.S. Global Change Research Program]] (USGCRP) in Washington D.C., as senior global change scientist. With the Office, he served as its first executive director from 1993–1997 and as executive director of the National Assessment Coordination Office from 1997–2001, coordinating preparation of the first comprehensive national assessment of climate change impacts on the US [16,17]. During this assignment, Dr. MacCracken also served as a co-author/contributing author for various chapters in the assessment reports of the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC), as well as coordinating preparation of the official U.S. Government reviews of the Second and [[Third IPCC Assessment Report]]s. He also served as president of the International Commission on Climate from 1995–2003 and co-editor of volume 1 of the Encyclopedia of Global Environmental Change.
From 2003–07, Dr. MacCracken served as president of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) and on the executive committees of [[International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics]] (IUGG), members of which are the [[National Academy of Sciences (disambiguation)|national academies of science]] or their equivalent in about 65 nations. He also was a member of the executive committee of the Scientific Committee for Oceanic Research (SCOR) from 2003–11 and a member of the synthesis team for the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment from 2002–04 [20]. From 2004–2007 he served on a scientific expert group convened by [[Sigma Xi]] and the UN Foundation at the request of the UN [[Commission on Sustainable Development]] to suggest the best measures for mitigating and adapting to global climate change.
Dr. MacCracken’s current research interests include [[climate engineering]] and the especially important role in limiting climate change that can be played by reduction in emissions of short-lived [[greenhouse gases]] and absorbing [[aerosols]]. He has also prepared several declarations relating to climate change, one of which was cited favorably by [[Justice Stevens]] in his majority opinion in the April 2007 decision by the [[US Supreme Court]] in the case of [[Massachusetts]] et al. versus the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA).
