Paul Bierman

geoscientist - educator- author

"When the Ice is Gone tells the story of the scientists who pieced together the history of the Greenland ice sheet and, as a result, can now peer into its future. Paul Bierman, is himself one of these scientists, and he brings to his subject a deep affection and a wealth of experience. The result is at once fascinating, sobering, and eye-opening."

Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction

My passions are

....telling stories and solving the mysteries of our planet. I am equally at home in a dusty archive and a cleanroom without a speck of dust. A researcher by training and a teacher for over four decades, I look at our planet with wonder and curiosity. My career has taken me to searing deserts and frigid ice sheets. Throughout, I've focused my energies on understanding the link between our Earth and human societies - what today we call, sustainability.
