What will I learn?

You'll study with faculty who specialize in atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, or climate dynamics, paleoclimate, climate variability and change. Through coursework, you'll develop broad knowledge of the physical processes that govern our atmosphere and oceans. With guided research, you'll specialize in synoptic, tropical, and mesoscale meteorology (extreme weather), atmospheric chemistry and physics (active gases and particles). The research and course work prepares you for today’s challenges in weather prediction, environmental data analytics and communicating of atmospheric sciences to stakeholders. Your research will culminate in your master’s thesis.
