STEM Career: Climatologist

Climatologists are atmospheric scientists who study all factors that influence Earth's weather. They offer insights on the impacts of climate and changes in the climate. Their work involves more than the atmosphere; they often examine water and soil samples to identify patterns and their potential impacts. And they may collect and analyze data from ice cores and plant life.

Tools of the Trade

Satellites, hygrometers, numerical models

Education Required

A bachelor's degree in climatology, meteorology, or atmospheric science; many need a master's or doctorate.
