Christian Berndt

Christian Berndt is not the sort of name that trends, and that is precisely why I wanted to write about him. A geologist, geophysicist, and marine scientist who teaches, he belongs to a community that spends weeks at sea probing seabed methane and crustal movement so the rest of us never have to think about it. There is a particular heroism in that patience, in slowly decoding how the planet actually works. I have enormous admiration for people whose discoveries quietly underwrite our understanding of the Earth, and Berndt strikes me as exactly that kind of unshowy, essential intellect worth honoring.
