For the Public
Engaging with Scientists
If you would like a climate or environmental scientist to visit your organisation or business, please contact us at education@amos.org.au. Our scientist members can talk about several topics, such as paleoclimatology, weather forecasts, ocean currents, climate theory and climate change projections, extreme weather and natural disasters, and atmospheric chemistry.
