This interview took place with Dr.Alan Robock. A Ph.D researcher and instructor at Rutgers University.
We talked about his college experiences, his views about the world, and his Ph.D thesis and how his work there still impacts his work today.
The threat of nuclear war is something that humans sometimes forget about. While we are not living in the Cold War anymore and Nuclear weapons are rarely in the news nowadays, there are still thousands of warheads scattered around the world and if a minuscule of those warheads get used it can have profound effects on the environment and humanity itself.
Dr.Robock, a meteorologist, studies these theoretical situations through computer simulations. How they can potentially affect the stratosphere, blocking out light from the Sun and experiences a climate change caused by humans that has never been seen before. All potential repercussions from a nuclear winter.
He also studies with graduate students about climate data analysis and geothermal engineering.
As I continue to progress as a science writer, I thank Dr.Alan Robock for his time and the information he was glad to share with me.
