My Hero: Alex N. Halliday - the Director of Columbia University’s Earth Institute inspires me to do more to combat the climate crisis
Alex N. Halliday (pictured) is in charge of Columbia University’s Earth Institute and his calm and knowledgeable demeanor inspires me to double down on my efforts to do more to about countering the climate crisis.
You can hear Mr Halliday talk about "The Hard Truths about Climate Change" during an interview on the Bob Herbert Op-Ed TV show.
Mr Halliday is the Director of Columbia University’s Earth
Institute. He joined the Earth Institute in April 2018, after spending
more than a decade at the University of Oxford, during which time he was
dean of science and engineering.
With about 400 published research papers, Mr Halliday has been a pioneer in
developing mass spectrometry to measure small isotopic variations in
everything from meteorites to seawater to living organisms, helping to
shed light on the birth and early development of our solar system, the
interior workings of the Earth, and the processes that affect Earth’s
surface environment.
His scientific achievements have been recognized through numerous
awards, including the Murchison Medal of the Geological Society, the
Bowen Award and Hess Medal of the American Geophysical Union, the Urey
Medal of the European Association of Geochemistry, and the Oxburgh Medal
of the Institute of Measurement and Control. He is a Fellow of the UK’s
Royal Society and Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of
Sciences. His contributions to science and innovation have been
recognized with the award of a knighthood in the UK.
Mr Halliday has also helped to lead a variety of distinguished scientific
societies and advisory panels. He is the former Vice President of the
Royal Society and former President of the Geochemical Society. He has
served as an external board member for Britain’s Natural Environment
Research Council, the Max Planck Society, London’s Natural History
Museum, the American Geophysical Union, and more.
As a professor in Columbia’s Department of Earth and Environmental
Sciences, Halliday divides his time between Columbia’s Morningside
campus and his geochemistry lab at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
