My childhood dream came true—what’s next?
2018.12.12
Dr. Christa D. Peters-Lidard, Deputy Director for Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Geophysics in the Earth Sciences Division, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), presented a Maniac lecture entitled, “My childhood dream came true—what’s next?” From tomboy to cheerleader to math contests, Christa’s path to NASA has been built on a fascination with nature, early inspiration from the space shuttle program, and a love for Earth Science. A series of steps with key mileposts led her to GSFC. Along the way she learned a bit about geophysics, hydrology, soil moisture, high performance computing, and land-atmosphere interactions. Looking forward, Earth science in general, and hydrology specifically is in the midst of a revolution. Christa discussed this 4th paradigm and how NASA/GSFC can lead the way.
