      Good question! There aren’t really that many “famous” geologists or geophysicists… Charles Lyell played an important part in developing James Hutton’s work and geology as a science…but they were both Scottish! Its difficult to think about who I am most like… I think Newton was pretty odd… I like trying to talk to people about science in everyday applications – maybe I’ll say Brian Cox!

      I would say David Attenborough because i love to think about past climates and past environments and care about the future of the planet

      I’ll say Bill Nye, because I enjoy science (Nye is actually an astronomer–he was responsible for adding a sundial to one of the Mars rovers!), but I also enjoy communicating science.

      I would to be like Niels Degrasse Tyson. He is very smart, funny and good at explaining things.
