I can see these people coming up with something tremendously interesting some time in the future... but we're not there yet. E.g., I'd already heard about the climate becoming more arid, so it's nice to know that the new data say the same thing, but it's hardly headline material. And all the procedural stuff - who comes from where - is frankly boring to an outsider. My father, RIP, was a geophysicist, and the stuff he did kind of gave the same kind of vibe. Endless wading through detail, to achieve results that are just a small brick in an enormous wall. Popular science leaves out the boring part - otherwise nobody would listen...
