Livia Souza Freire Grion
Geosciences
Since childhood, Livia Souza Freire Grion has been captivated by science. As a girl, she gazed at the sky with awe and a hint of fear. Today, Grion is an engineer focused on one of meteorology’s greatest mysteries: the “gray zone,” where weather phenomena between 1 and 10 kilometers defy accurate prediction. She graduated from the Federal University of Paraná, where she completed a master’s degree in numerical methods. She later earned her doctorate in meteorology from Pennsylvania State University.
With storms and extreme weather always on her mind, Grion finds balance at home with her partner by relaxing with jigsaw puzzles and going on daily runs. A dedicated supporter of Brazil in any sport, Grion is also passionate about fiction and is a steadfast advocate for curiosity and wonder.
