Scientist Interviews

PCC Climate Scientist Interviews

  • What drives scientists?
  • Stephen Po-Chedley (Atmospheric Sciences): Comparing satellite measurements to climate model data
  • Spruce Schoenemann (Earth and Space Sciences): Determining past climate changes using Antarctic ice cores
  • Sarah Purkey (Oceanography): Changes in the southern ocean circulation
  • Nicole Wigder (Atmospheric Sciences): Relating atmospheric chemistry to wildfires
  • Katherine Heal (Oceanography): Interactions between nutrients and photosynthetic organisms in the upper ocean
  • Jack Scheff (Atmospheric Sciences): Observing large climate changes of past and future excluding changes in temperature
  • Hilary Palevsky (Oceanography): CO2 absorption from the atmosphere
  • Elizabeth Maroon (Atmospheric Sciences): Why it rains and where it rains
  • Chris Terai (Atmospheric Sciences): The affect of pollution on clouds in the southeast Pacific

Teach What Geoscientists Do-Video’s featuring Scientists

  • More Than Scientists: Climate scientists, many from UW, and producer Eric Michelman urge all to unite in solving the climate problem.
  • “Why do you study the ocean?” Clips from interviews of scientists on a Schmidt Ocean Institute Cruise
