Hi, there! My name is Kris Karnauskas, and I’m a professor and ocean/climate scientist at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, USA. Back in 2015, when I moved to Boulder from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, my first aspiration was to build a new course on physical oceanography, but a different kind of course. […]
We hope everyone enjoyed our Facebook Live Q&A yesterday with Kris Lane, Matthew Restall and Merry Wiesner-Hanks! Thank you to everyone who submitted questions.
