OCCUPATIONS TO ADDRESS THE SCIENCE OF THE EARTH IS NOT SOMETHING WHICH MANY ARTS STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING THEIR UNDERGRADUATE COURSES AT UNIVERSITY.
In fact, interviews by occupation within the sciences is not something which many professional broadcasters have had to regularly consider.
But science discussions should be a regular feature for many art students if they want to be able to take part in serious debate about climate change.
In undertaking a range of interviews for the History of Australian Geoscience oral history project in 2014 and 2015, I met a range of different earth scientists. Each person had their own particular viewpoint on their contribution to the Sciences and the health of the planet.
They each had terminology for scientific endeavours which criss-crossed the global debate on climate change and implications for long-term life on Earth.
They each worked hard during their interviews to impress upon this broadcaster how important science and research can be to the health of the planet.

Most of the interviews are available online via the National Library of Australia’s website. The interviews are free to listen to.
