Climate Scientists

Dr Anita Marshall on mobility-related disabilities and her role in The International Association for Geoscience Diversity (theIAGD.org), a non-profit dedicated to creating access and inclusion for students, faculty, and professionals with disabilities in the geosciences.

Meteorologist, climate journalist, and writer Eric Holthaus talks about his new book, titled "The Future Earth: A Radical Vision for What's Possible in the Age of Warming". We discuss the role of imagination and mutual care in addressing the climate crisis. The new book is available here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-future-earth-eric-holthaus

In the first of this series on Earth System scientists with disabilities, oceanographer Kaitlin Naughten talks about her experience with stammering (a.k.a. stuttering). We talk about a number of topics, including: What is a disability? In particular, what is stammering / stuttering? How does stammering affect life in science? What is the "medical model" of disability? How about the "social model" of disability? Representation and why it matters Special accommodations for people who speak with a stammer How to be a good listener when speaking to someone with a stammer Are there any good things about stammering?  Episode produced by Dan Jones and Kaitlin Naughten 

Professor Scott Denning from the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University joins me to talk about his semester teaching at sea, his research career working on the global carbon cycle (especially the atmospheric and land portions), and his pathway from geology into atmospheric science

A clip from my full conversation with Professor Scott Denning, available in a separate episode.

The climate scientist and author joins me to discuss (1) his forthcoming book, The New Climate War, (2) the changing culture surrounding scientists and public and political engagement, and (3) social media use as a public scientist, among other topics.

Project scientist Rachel McCrary on statistical and dynamical downscaling techniques for studying how climate change affects precipitation and snowpack over North America | Her pathway into science | Our experiences with mental health in the geosciences

Oceanographer Sonya Legg joins me to discuss waves, mixing, and how she helps incorporate small-scale processes into large-scale climate models. We also discuss her role in the MPOWIR mentoring network and her pathway into science.
