The EPA: Erasing Past Actions

Missouri State University

The Environmental Protection Agency has long gathered a wealth of data on climate change.  This data and related information has been available to both scientists and the general public through their website.  Under the current administration most of the immediate links and access to climate change research will be scrubbed from the site, although it should be possible to find it in the archives through persistent effort.  Dr. Toby Dogwiler, a climatologist and the head of MSU’s GGP department, stops by to chat about this policy change and the disconnect he sees between the average citizen and their elected leaders on the issue of climate change.

 

Dr. David Cornelison has been working as an educator and scientist in Arizona and Missouri universities for the last 32 years. From 2010-2018, he was the head of the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science at Missouri State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental condensed-matter physics and astrophysics, while his educational efforts have focused on outreach to the K-12 school system. Most of all, he believes in curiosity-driven learning in the sciences and all other fields.
