Geoscientist Emer Caslin had watched the topics of sustainability and the climate crisis creep in to her work life over the years. Recently, driven by a life-long passion, she took a step back from her career to focus on sustainability, particularly in the oil and gas industry. In this column, which was first presented by Schlumberger, she shares what she learned.
