A Scientist's Mind, an Artist's Eye



Oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf, of Germany’s Potsdam University, is known globally for his prolific output of scientific papers, and his high profile advocacy for the science of climate change. Dr. Rahmstorf is a founder of RealClimate, one of the Web’s first and most influential climate blogs.

Less well known is Dr. Rahmstorf’s passion and intensity as a photographer. Dr. Rahmstorf tells us in the video that “Science is about the rational mind, the dispassionate and the objective, whereas, photography to me is about the passionate and the subjective, and I couldn’t feel like a whole person if I was only developing the entirely rational part of myself.”
