CATHY CONSTABLE
Cathy Constable is a researcher and professor of geophysics at Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego. Her research focuses on the earth’s magnetic field and how it changes over time. Cathy moved to WA from Scotland as a child. She attended a Perth high school and went on to study at UWA before the travel bug hit again.
