Hi! My name is Paul Hirt and I am a Professor of History and Senior Sustainability Scholar at Arizona State University. I study water, energy, and natural resources, with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental problem-solving.

I lived in Tucson for 17 years (1975-1992), Washington State for 11 years (1993-2004), and in Tempe since 2004 when I joined the faculty at ASU. Since returning to Arizona I have been actively involved in advancing the renewable energy revolution. Arizona with its abundant sunshine can and should be at the forefront of the transition away from fossil fuels.

If you share my vision, please connect with me and help make it happen!
