We continually expand the reach of the atmosphere and earth-system sciences, and apply our discoveries to solving problems that impact society. Achieving this requires the leadership, inspiration, and diversity of talent to work in a multidisciplinary way with collaborators and stakeholders, building strategic partnerships that flourish well into the future.
I have a very strong feeling that science exists to serve human betterment and improve human welfare.
