Members of the Earth & Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) convened at a town hall on Sept. 15 to learn who will lead its two new divisions. Before the announcements, Berkeley Lab director Paul Alivisatos said that EESA is well positioned to address many critical national and global scientific needs. He also said that EESA’s science is deeply integrated with other Lab areas, such as computing and biosciences. After Director Alivisatos spoke, EESA Associate Laboratory Director Susan Hubbard named Jens Birkholzer director of the Energy Geosciences Division, and Bill Collins director of the Climate & Ecosystem Sciences Division.
