Research Gets Real!
Last week J. emailed
to the topic of his first semester research report
Wallace Broecker, literally the
GRANDFATHER OF CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of answering J.'s questions via email,
Dr. Broecker invited J. to call him, so J. did!
On Monday, J. made the call
and engaged in a half an hour interview
with one of the greatest minds of our times!
"To his colleagues, peers and admirers he is a genius and a pioneer, the Grandfather of Climate Science...Broecker is arguably one of the world’s greatest living geoscientists. For more than half a century, his major research interest has been the ocean’s role in climate change. He was among the pioneers in radiocarbon and isotope dating... He was also the first person ever to recognize the Ocean Conveyor Belt (which he named), arguably the most important discovery in the history of oceanography and its critical relation to climate.
Broecker’s studies regarding biogeochemical cycles of carbon and the influence of climate change on polar ice and ocean sediments have earned him decades of international attention." - http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/2246
AND HE TALKED TO ONE OF OUR KIDS!!!!!!!!!!
J. got to pick this man's brain
and get his reaction to
the most up to date events in climate change!
They even talked about an article
in the New York Times published that day!
I am sorry for the superfluous exclamation points,
but I cannot contain my elation
that J. got to have this unique and powerful opportunity!
