Trini López
Singer-guitarist Trini López (May 13, 1937-August 11, 2020) became an international sensation performing in English and Spanish. In the 1960s, he gained fame for his versions of “Lemon Tree” and “If I Had a Hammer.” In the rock and folk world of the time, the unusual Latino would also talk of fighting pressure from record managers to change his name and probably cater to white audiences more.

Konrad Steffen
Glaciologist Konrad Steffen (January 2, 1952-August 8, 2020) was a leading expert on the impacts of climate change on the Arctic, including Greenland’s ice sheet, which over the past four decades has undergone accelerated summer melting. Its melting has been a major contributor to sea levels rising. A camp was established in Greenland by Dr. Steffen to track ice and snowmelt levels (rebuilding it over time as ice underneath it disappeared).
