Why Is Richard Levy Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Richard Levy is a New Zealand glacial stratigrapher and paleoclimatologist with expertise in microfossil analysis. As a principal scientist at GNS Science he has been involved in international and New Zealand environmental research programmes focussing on the evolution of the Earth's climate and building an understanding of the role of greenhouse gases in causing anthropogenic climate changes, in particular those impacting global sea levels. He has had extensive experience in scientific drilling, leading major projects, including the ANtarctic geological DRILLing Program in Antarctica. Since 2018, Levy has co-led the government funded NZ SeaRise programme.
