School of Earth and Climate Sciences

Kat Allen is an Associate Professor School of Earth and Climate Sciences at the University of Maine, with a Cooperating Appointment at the Climate Change Institute. Kat studies the ocean, both in the geologic past and in the present. Kat was part of our introductory panel at the 2022 Maine Science Festival Headliner Event, The Warming Sea – an exploration of hope in the face of the climate crisis, and her presentation provided fantastic context for the rest of the evening. Our conversation was recorded August 2022.
