Climate

Geography takes you to the sky.

Climatologists make up an important branch of the study of geography. Not only do they study weather patterns and weather phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes and hailstorms, but they are also responsible for helping to predict weather far into the future. Their expertise has become vital in adding to our understanding of the greenhouse effect and global warming.
