Question: what made you want to work about the carbon temperatures?

Hio yousco001,

While I was studying geology a bit part of that was how climate has chanegd over the previous millions of years, and so I always had an interest in climate change. When the opportunity came up to study it in more detail for my masters project and then in a PhD, I took it as I have found learning about our climate to be really fascinating, especially how changes in carbon dioxide amounts in the atmosphere can cause huge changes!
