A Climatologist studies changes in our climate and weather conditions over time. You might conduct research into climatic issues and prepare reports on your findings.

You may specialise in a particular climate issue or study general climate conditions.

Climatologists should be passionate about their area of science and enjoy sharing their knowledge with others. You’ll need to have strong analytical skills and be able to communicate research findings with a range of stakeholders. Climatologists must be able to work independently, but also function as part of a team.
