rwvachon
A year or two ago I received my PhD in geological sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Since then I have been woking on publishing segments of my dissertation and making films on climate change in polar regions at CIRES Outreach.
I am definitely an outdoors kind of guy. When I am not working on climate change science or producing films I am in the mountains climbing, skiing, hiking and taking photographs. In general, I am passionate about exploring the globe and who I am.
