weeks, the arctic ice pack has shrunk to an extent that no computer model nor scientist had thought possible. The term, ‘arctic ice melt’ refers to the ice located at the arctic circle that is warming due to severe climate change. In certain high latitude regions such as the Arctic Ocean, the surface waters are actually colder than the deep waters and the halocline, which isolates the surface waters from the deep waters, is responsible for maintaining water column stability. The halocline is…

Recently I was faced with the following question, “If you were told to do something by a superior that you knew was procedurally wrong, would you do it?” I’m sure this question would confuse anyone with having to choose right from wrong. When asked, my brain started moving fast, like the wheels on a locomotive; however, my thought process was slower than sand in an hour glass. I wanted to make sure that I gave the correct answer without having to jeopardize my commitment to ethics. I began to…

if those chances aren’t encouraged. I have great trepidation knowing that a different route to a solution may not produce similar or identical results, but in fact, may produce better or worse aftereffect. It’s important for me as a leader to give latitude to take on new challenges for others even if they fail.
