Why Is Laurel L. Wilkening Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Laurel L. Wilkening was an American planetary scientist and college professor. She was chancellor of the University of California, Irvine from 1993 to 1998. Early life Wilkening was born in Richland, Washington, and raised in Socorro, New Mexico. Her mother, Ruby Alma Barks Wilkening, was a teacher; her father, Marvin H. Wilkening, was an atomic scientist during World War II, and a physics professor at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry at Reed College in 1966. She completed doctoral studies in chemistry at the University of California, San Diego in 1970, under advisor Hans Suess. Her dissertation committee included two Nobel Prize laureates, Harold Urey and Hannes Alfvén. She held post-doctoral appointments in Mumbai, Mainz, Paris, and Chicago.
