Feasible? Sure–why not? It’s cool that you found something you’re very interested in. And even though grad school is still far far away, it’s good incentive to keep those grades up freshman year Just keep an open mind about your options, though.

I’d recommend a strong background in math, physics, geochemistry, and/or hydrology. This depends a lot on what exactly interests you about the topic, too. If you’re into modeling, definitely take math/comp sci classes. If you’re into the water supply aspect, hydrology would be good. And, of course, if you’re into water politics, take both geo and non-geo classes.

What exactly do you like about the research? Have you read any other articles on different types of climate studies?
