Ocean and Climate Dynamics

Media Coverage

Irina Marinov participated in the National Public Radio program Radio Times together with her fellow climate change experts Michael Mann (Pennsylvania State University) and Naomi Oreskes (Harvard University), discussing the science and politics of climate change with the program’s host Marty Moss-Coane.

Prof. Marinov’s Bio Sketch was featured in Women in Oceanography, a supplement to Oceanography, Volume 27, Number 4, Dec 2014. This issue highlights inspiring stories from women oceanographers and reviews the progress made over the last 10 years in addressing barriers to career advancement for female oceanographers.
