At Careers With STEM (www.careerswithstem.com.au) we take a STEM topic (like maths), and combine it with your passion, hobby, or a growing field (like climate change), to showcase potential career paths. A perfect example is Danielle Udy, antarctic climatologist and University of Tasmania researcher using maths to help work out the impact of climate change and climate variability on climatic events such as flood, drought, bushfire and sea-level rise.
