Kate Marvel is Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Science, where she studies climate forcings (things that affect the planet’s energy balance) and feedbacks (processes that speed up or slow down warming). She initially trained as a theoretical physicist, and calculated the probability that the Universe could spontaneously decay via quantum tunnelling (low, mercifully).
