On this 30th episode of the podcast, I'm honoured to be joined by renowned climate scientist Professor Maureen Raymo. Maureen is Co-Founding Dean of Columbia Climate School, and Director at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University.Here is a sample paragraph from her bio on the Columbia Climate School Leadership page:Prof. Raymo is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, The Geological Society of America, The Geological Society of London, and The Explorer's Club. In 2014 she became the first woman to be awarded the Wollaston Medal, The Geological Society of London's most senior medal previously award to Charles Lyell, Louis Agassiz, and Charles Darwin. She was awarded the Maurice Ewing Medal by the AGU and U. S. Navy “for significant original contributions to the ocean sciences” and the European Geosciences Union, upon recognizing her accomplishments with the Milankovic Medal, wrote, “Maureen E. Raymo's work has given names to critical, foundational ideas: the ‘uplift-weathering hypothesis', the ‘41-thousand-year problem', ‘Pliocene sea level paradox', and ‘the Lisiecki-Raymo δ18O Stack' are all central themes in palaeoceanography that appear in textbooks and have their roots in Raymo's research and intellectual contributions.” Maureen's work, firmly based on observations and data, has shaped our understanding of Earth's natural climate variability and her many landmark papers have influenced a generation of climate scientists. So you can see why it is such a great honour to have Prof Raymo (or Maureen as she asked me to call her) come on the podcast.We had a fascinating conversation, which although it started out bleak discussing sea-level rise, ended on a very optimistic note, I'm delighted to report.As always, I learned loads (including how to correctly pronounce Pliocene
Dr. Maureen Raymo is a leading climate researcher teaching at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University. Maureen focuses on sea level rise, and paleo-oceanography to better understand past climate conditions and how the warming of the planet will affect sea level. The recipient of numerous accolades for her scholarly work, most notably she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and named one of Discover magazine’s 50 most important women in science. Now teaching for Columbia, she has taught at U of California - Berkley, MIT, and Boston University.
