Hidden Worlds and Studies: Astrobiology

STEMe

In order to understand how extraterrestrial life might survive in climates unfamiliar to humans, researchers consider a variety of other fields such as biology, chemistry, geology, atmospheric science, and many more. Astrobiology may be a relatively new field, but it is going to go far within the world of space exploration.

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. At secondary school, I was also interested in economics, mathematics and physics. I loved going to university.

Career Exploration: Mathematics

PCS Edventures

Depending on the type of meteorology, you will need at least a bachelor’s degree in meteorology or atmospheric science. Those who are interested in becoming a geodesist will need at least a bachelor’s degree in geodesy, or mathematics, physics, earth science or similar where a more specific degree is unavailable.
