A Union of Earth & Ice ​This is the story of two scientists who found a bond in college and decided to commit to a lifelong rapport. ​The Groom is a Geophysicist working in the demanding Oil and Gas Industry in Africa, focused on harnessing the energy deep within the Earth. ​The Bride is a Marine Biologist and PhD Researcher, whose work on nitrogen-consuming bacteria in the Arctic and Antarctic puts her at the forefront of global climate science. She recently returned from the Arctic and plans a trip to Antarctica next year. ​Their marriage unites the practicality of energy resource management with the cutting edge of environmental discovery—a partnership as vast and vital as the planet they both study.
