EARTHWEEK is the invention of meteorologist Steve Newman, who pioneered the real-time reporting of natural and environmental events with the launch of the feature in 1987. Newman has been a broadcast meteorolo gist for more than 30 years, and a frequent guest on ABC’s “Good Morning America†during El Niño and La Niña outbreaks.
His EARTH ALERT bulletins were also a weekly component of “Discovery News†on the Discovery Channel, and an online feature of Discovery.com.
In 1980, Newman established the weather consulting firm Earth Environment Service, which provided forecasts and data to agricultural, insurance, industrial and media interests worldwide. His company has also produced the daily weather page for the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento Bee and others.
Newman is designated a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist by the American Meteorological Society and is a fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. He is also a member of the American Geophysical Union, the Union of Concerned Scientists and the National Association of Science Writers.
He lives on a ranch outside the historic North Texas town of Pilot Point.
