Of course, Douglass went on not only to found the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona, but was also the first Director of the Steward Observatory and played the major role in getting it funded and built

A.E. Douglass (founder of the science of dendrochronology) got fired by Percival Lowell for questioning the existence of 'canals' on Mars. Douglass was out of science for many years before getting a position at the University of Arizona. He would be expected to teach physics & physical geography:

Nice analyses by Eden Markovitz and Nathan Steiger on recent persistent drought for Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Indeed, the island had one of the more severe future drying trends in our 2016 paper (Karnauskas et al. www.nature.com/articles/ncl...) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

I raise this point frequently - we're not even well-adapted to the weather and climate extremes we already experience ('adaptation deficit', a la Burton 2009). Addressing that would go a meaningful way toward reducing total vulnerability to future climate changes www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
