On February 11, the United Nations Annual International Women and Girls Day in Science It increases the awareness of the many challenges that women and girls around the world face within Stem disciplines, and the innumerable ways in which they continue to overcome obstacles and make waves in their fields.
For this year’s theme, “Stem races unpack: his voice in science,” we would like to highlight only some examples of the notable scientists of the Columbia Climate School.
See the stories below for more information about how these women lead the burden towards a more sustainable future and continue reading the planet’s status for continuous coverage of scientific exceptional women throughout the year.
The new Dean Alexis Abramson of the Columbia Climate School analyzes his commitment to climatic action and how an experience in engineering and liberal arts to be a more effective leader.
Galen McKinley and his research group at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Columbia are quantifying how much carbon eliminates the ocean from the atmosphere, and how much fluctuates, to better understand climate change.
Lisa Dale, an expert in adaptation to climate change and director of the MA program in climate and society in climatic school, talks about the best strategies to reduce the risk of fire and the difficulty of implementing them.
Amy Campbell, a Fulbright academic in the MA program in climate and society in Columbia Climate School, channels its interdisciplinary worldview in your work on disaster preparation.
The student of MPA-OSP, Jada Johnson, believes in the power of politics to promote significant and sustainable solutions for historically unattended communities.
Elaine Angeles, graduated from the MPA in the Environmental Sciences and Policy Program, is dedicated to promoting change through the best use of scientific forecasts and early warning systems to support vulnerable populations.
Logan Brenner, a scientist from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia, is part of an international collaboration to pierce the ocean’s past to discover the hidden language of Ocean Coral.
Sheila Foster, climate professor at the Columbia Climate School, reflects on being honored by the prestigious organization, the American School of Environmental Bar Associations, for their professional achievements.
Olivia Palma, a student in the MA program in the weather and society, discusses his passion to understand the link between people, the environment and climate change, especially for communities at risk.
Jessica Fanzo, climate teacher at climatic school, shares how an “unplanned” career led to his recent election to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors in the field.
You can also meet some of the scientific women of climate school in our Science for the planet series:
Postdoc Nadia Seeteram studies how climatic risks are affecting housing infrastructure and housing needs in coastal communities.
Nicole Davi, a scientist of the tree ring at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of the Climate School, explains the critical role played by sea forests to protect our coastal communities from storms. The tree rings records that are building will help us understand how these ecosystems are responding to climate change.
Ocean -based techniques to eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could help the United States and other countries achieve their climatic objectives, but they must advance in a safe, fair and responsible way, says the expert in climate law Romany Webb .
Lamont’s botanist and climatologist, Dorothy Peteet, explains how ecosystems store large amounts of carbon, but are threatened by the increase in sea level.
