Let's chat climate and rocks with Dr Rosie Oakes.

Dr Rosie Oakes is an international climate services scientist
with the Met Office, where she focuses on making the outputs from
climate models understandable and accessible to people around the
world, so they can be used to help them make climate informed
decisions. She also happens to be incredibly funny and talented
and brings geology to life. Aisling and Gemma agree they will
never look at a rock the same again!


Rosie started her journey as a geologist and she loves rocks. She
shares with us some very interesting facts about Edinburgh in
this episode that you are definitely going to want to know too.


In this episode as well as chatting about Rosie's role at the Met
Office, we also chat about paleoclimate, which is where we look
at how the climate has changed in the past so that we can better
understand what might happen to the climate in the future. Rosie
also shares some ways in which we can help to reduce our impact
on the climate.


We loved chatting to Rosie in this episode and learnt loads, and
have seen gone away to find out more about the fascinating world
of paleoclimate.
