The 14 individuals who grace these pages come from many places in the geosciences. From the chilliest corners of Earth to the particle-spewing corona of the Sun, you’ll find them discovering, creating, illustrating, and engineering.
Though they are each finding their own way, they aren’t navigating the maze alone. Friends, family, audiences, mentors, and colleagues were key to building their successful careers and are important to keeping them. Scroll through these profiles to learn how these scientists made it through and take in a bit of their hard-earned wisdom.
Read about how collaboration helps a seismologist unriddle one of Earth’s greatest puzzles, how one scientist is trying to make sure people actually understand one another, how a meteorologist is ensuring early warnings for all, and how a chief is using his geological knowledge to guide his tribe. Get advice on building a network, helping others, and being true to yourself. We are excited to share these stories highlighting the many ways to be an Earth or space scientist and hope they inspire you to find your network and your niche.
