A former hi-tech marketing exec and diplomat, I write about why people think the way they think and behave the way they do -the nexus of science and philosophy.

Earth scientist specialising in Land systems, LULUCF/AFOLU (look it up if you don't know), Soils, Land Degradation and Desertification.

Retired applied mathematician who is a widower with three children and seven grandchildren. Google Scholar brings up my publications.
