Karsten Shein, PhD

I am a thought leader and nature’s knowledge broker. I translate science and data into information that helps people, businesses and communities be resilient and sustainable. My mission is to unlock the potential of every person to make a difference. I create environmental heroes through words, visualization, and innovative technology! ➍➂➁➀ A PhD in Geography, mad skills at solving puzzles, and over 25 years of experience as a climate scientist, pilot, scuba diver, author, photographer and world traveler have provided a deep knowledge of the natural and social world and how to drive practical and positive change. ➃➌➁➀ In a career spanning government, academia and private sector, my work includes how climate affects coral reefs, communities, wine quality, aviation, and energy production. Some highlights include: • Directed businesses and a major climate center • Negotiated environmental protocols between the U.S. And Russia • Led major climate assessments and vulnerability reports • Managed million-dollar projects • Invented a widely used metadata standard • Awarded best writer by 50,000+ readers of a major trade publication I’ve taught and mentored hundreds of students, connected thousands of companies and municipalities with climate information, and transformed knowledge into action for millions of people. ➃➂➋➀ Now I enable citizen science and help companies & communities monitor their environment, improve sustainability, and reduce their vulnerability to climate change. To address the problem of too little data to make wise decisions, I developed wearable tech so anyone, anywhere can collect and share research-grade environmental data while they enjoy nature. I give these data relevance - helping people better understand why a healthy environment makes good economic and societal sense. ➃➂➁➊ If you are ready to improve your climate resilience, reduce your environmental footprint, and become an environmental hero, ping me now! ✉ [email protected] | ✆ +1 (360) 820-8234
