Breaking the mold : changing the face of climate science

Levy, Dana Alison (author.).

Summary:

"Sixteen profiles of scientists who are changing the face of science and the future of Earth through their research"-- Provided by publisher.
"Scientists who collect microbes from surfers' skin, who use radar sensors to gather data miles away, who combat inequality by pushing for cleaner air policies. Each with their own story, all working to make life better for future generations. Celebrated author Dana Alison Levy profiles 16 people, all studying different elements of the earth's landscape, animals, and climate, who defy stereotypes of who can be a scientist. From analytical chemists to volcanologists, from global experts to recent graduates, these scientists share what they were like as young people, how they got where they are now, and what they--and the rest of us--can do to help the planet." -- Amazon.com.
