Schmidt received the award for advancing climate science and planetary habitability studies through groundbreaking research on ice-ocean interactions and innovative exploration of Earth's polar regions.
Britney is truly a pioneer in the field of climate change research. We need scientists like Britney who can harness multiple disciplines to address the challenges of climate change.
Schmidt and her team designed, built and deployed Icefin, a remotely operated vehicle that provides unprecedented insights into Antarctic ice shelf melting and ocean circulation.
She is, in my view, precisely the sort of trailblazer this award was designed to recognize and celebrate.
