» A climate change power couple? University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine Science professors and husband and wife Ken Broad and Amy Clement fit the bill. Broad, 41, a National Geographic Emerging Explorer, came out with a study in June on Floridians’ views on climate change. Clement, 37, an American Geophysical Union medal winner and paleoclimatologist, is advancing new theories on climate change. Also at Rosenstiel: Andrew Baker, 37, who has been named a 2008 Pew Fellow for Marine Conservation for his work on saving reefs from rising ocean temps. He’s in a campaign to discourage people from using coral for decorating and jewelry.
