Volcanologist
Ben is your role model for the volcanologist role. As well as dreaming about cakes, Ben travels around the world trying to figure out why volcanoes erupt. His favourite part his job is being on an active volcano, hiking around and picking up exciting looking rocks and watching volcanoes erupt. Ben recently worked together with Department of Conservation on assessing the hazard of being hit by rocks thrown out of the volcanoes when hiking the Tongariro crossing track in New Zealand’s North island. DOC actually used that data to help them decide where not to build toilets! When he isn't on a volcano, Ben is surfing, snowboarding and building sand volcanoes with his kids.
