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.

What does a Meteorologist do? Watch Meteorologist Chelsea Andrews at Work

Smore Science

To create a forecast, I check current conditions, look at several different computer models, and use my knowledge of Central Texas weather patterns to determine what the temperatures, wind speeds, and rain chances will likely be for the next several days. As a meteorologist, I create my own forecast and build the graphics you see on-air.

Understanding the atmosphere: What can atmospheric chemistry teach us about air pollution?

Futurum

The next generation of atmospheric chemists will be tasked with understanding these problems and discovering any potential solutions for their mitigation. Other areas of study include the interactions between aerosols and clouds, the long-range movements of pollution in the air and the ever-advancing field of computer modelling.
