@atekwanae

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

@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

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.

@ucdavis

He has teaching interests in environmental geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, and incorporating experiential learning in courses. Most recently at @ucdavis!

Our panelists have started answering some #ClimateCrisis questions on their profiles. Please check them out or see some of their responses linked below.

We started by asking @OsinachiAjoku, "What is the Paris agreement?"

Today we are talking to Black climate scientists about their experience working in climate science. #BiGWeek2021

@JhordanneJ

@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

@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
