Sarah Feakins

Sarah Feakins, professor of Earth sciences, has been named editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology. Feakins will oversee publication of research papers and promote peer review. Noting the potential of research in the field to impact policy, she says she also intends to “help the global Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology community voice their research progress and societal relevance,” particularly through public-friendly (plain-language) summaries of the research.
