Congratulations to Ed Brook, Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences, who was selected as one of the 2008 Leopold Leadership Fellows!
Based at Stanford University’s Woods Institute for the Environment, the Leopold Leadership Program was founded in 1998 and is funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Each year the program selects up to 20 mid-career academic environmental scientists as fellows, who receive intensive communication and leadership training to help them deliver scientific information more effectively to journalists, policymakers, business leaders and the public.
Ed, one of nineteen researchers selected as a fellow, focuses his research on climate history with emphasis on ice core records of greenhouse gases. You can read Ed’s biography here.
