Lily Dove's Science Journey: Answering Climate Change Questions with Oceanography

As part of the Science Journeys lecture series—designed to inspire scientific curiosity, especially among students in middle and high school—graduate student and Resnick Scholar Lily Dove discussed how her love for boats and the ocean led her to study climate change, and shared her passion for doing research around the globe with scientists of all backgrounds.

Dove, who will receive her PhD at this Friday's Commencement ceremony, grew up in Florida and studied Earth, atmospheric, and planetary science at MIT before joining Caltech as a Resnick Scholar in the lab of Andrew Thompson, professor of environmental science and engineering, and director of The Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global Environmental Science. Outside of the lab, Dove teaches climate science to middle school students in the Pasadena Unified School District and is an advocate for increasing access to oceanography for historically marginalized students.
