Exploring Our Blue Planet Using Underwater Robots with Lily Dove

As part of the Science Journeys lecture series—designed to inspire scientific curiosity, especially
among students in middle and high school—graduate student and Resnick Scholar Lily Dove
discussed how her love for boats and the ocean led her to study climate change, and shared her
passion for doing research around the globe with scientists of all backgrounds.

Dove, who will receive her PhD at Caltech’s 2023 Commencement ceremony, grew up in St.
Augustine, Florida, and studied Earth, atmospheric, and planetary science at MIT before joining
Caltech as a Resnick Scholar in the lab of Andrew Thompson, professor of environmental
science and engineering, and director of The Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global
Environmental Science.
