\nMoran, associate dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography, is a geological oceanographer who co-led the only scientific drilling expedition to the Arctic Ocean to gain insight into how Earth\u2019s climate has changed over millions of years so present and future climate changes can be better understood.
