Piers Corbyn
English Scientist
I gained a first class degree in Physics at Imperial College London in 1968 and did research in solid state physics, but did not pursue meteorology matters until gaining an M.Sc. in astrophysics from Queen Mary College London in 1981, after which I investigated and attempted to construct theories of solar activity.

Quote examples
Eric Maskin
American Economist
Perhaps one day earthquakes, hurricanes and financial crashes will all be predictable. But we don't have to wait until then for seismology, meteorology and economics to become sciences; they already are.

Quote examples
Jim Parsons
American Actor
I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology.

Quote examples
Carolyn Porco
American Scientist
Saturn itself is a giant planet, and there's much to be gained by investigating its meteorology and studying its magnetic field.

Quote examples
Ginger Zee
American Scientist
I always had becoming a meteorologist as my goal from the second I decided, while I was in school, just to study meteorology.

Quote examples
Eric Maskin
American Economist
Through meteorology, we know essentially how hurricanes form, even though we can't say where the next storm will arise.

Quote examples
Clive Granger
British Economist
I preferred to use mathematics in some practical fashion and thought that meteorology sounded promising.

Randy Newman
American Comedian
I like science - geography, meteorology, cosmology.
