climate scientist
Studies Earth's atmosphere
A climate scientist is a researcher who studies Earth's climate systems—atmospheric patterns, temperature trends, ocean currents, ice sheets, and their interactions over time.
Climate scientists analyze data to understand past climate conditions, model future changes, and assess human impacts on global warming: Climate scientists warn that current emissions trajectories will lead to severe consequences.
