We are delighted to share that Dr. Ben Poulter joined ISSI as Director of Earth Sciences on 1 November 2026. Ben will continue his role as Program Director for Spark Climate Solutions’ Warming Induced Emissions Program. He brings that work, along with his expertise from a decade at NASA working with international partners, to help convene the Earth science community around critical scientific questions and challenges.
We are excited that Prof. Dr. Willy Benz has accepted to renew his term as the Chair of the ISSI Board of Trustees (BoT). Willy has been instrumental in helping ISSI steer through recent challenges and, under his continued leadership, we look forward to furthering ISSI’s mission of advancing space and Earth science research through international collaboration.
