We're back on day 3 of #BiGWeek2021 to talk about #NaturalHazards.

We picked Dr. Eliot Atekwana's brain and will be posting his responses for the next hour.

Dr. Atekwana is a stable isotope geochemist who addresses basic questions in hydrology, CO2 cycling, and env change.
He has teaching interests in environmental geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, and incorporating experiential learning in courses. Most recently at @ucdavis!

@atekwanae already starting with 🔥🔥🔥

"You can't answer all questions by yourself. You have to collaborate with other people."

#Geosustainability
Geoscience is the most critical science for the 21st century because we have the knowledge that is req for the resources that society needs. Many people don’t realize that the cell phones in their hands have geos working for them in the background. @atekwanae #geosustainability
@atekwanae 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Do people know how important we are? We need a PR campaign to explain how valuable we are to society.

We don’t connect instruments that surgeons use to earth materials and if we make those connections better, we may see more students getting into earth science @atekwanae

Wow what a Twitter space. So many Gems!
(pun intended)
Q: Some of the critical steps we can take regarding climate change:

"Be informed (don't just depend on Government or Experts) "
Q: What are some of the benefits of mining and how are we in Africa accessing these benefits?

"Civilization has benefited based on employment, raw materials, Government revenue and much more. For Africa, we are not really accessing the benefits as we are not able to add value"

Today we are talking to Black climate scientists about their experience working in climate science. #BiGWeek2021
@JhordanneJ "We tend to turn a blind eye when a tropical storm or hurricane de-intensifies or becomes a remnant, which is what impacted NY.

The moral of the story is that a hurricane is a rainmaker and smaller less intense storms can do major damage." #BiGWeek2021
@C_Poku93 "White scientists think that we don’t care. But we’ve got to a point where we as Black scientists need to start making our own conversations in the atmospheric sciences because we have the experience that they [white scientists] don’t." #BiGWeek2021
