Faculty. Includes twenty faculty members from the Departments of Land, Air and Water Resources, Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Physics, the Institute of Toxicology and Environmental Health, and Environmental Science and Policy.
Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Atmospheric Science offers both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. The student can place emphasis on graduate work in one or more of the following fields: air quality meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, biometeorology, micrometeorology, numerical weather prediction, remote sensing, climate dynamics, large scale dynamics, and mesoscale meteorology. The diverse and extensive backgrounds of the faculty allow opportunities for interdisciplinary training and research.
Preparation. The Group encourages applications from all interested students with backgrounds in the physical or natural sciences. Basic qualifications for students entering the Atmospheric Science graduate program include mathematics to the level of vector calculus and differential equations, and one year of college-level physics. Considerable flexibility may be allowed for students with high academic potential, but it is expected that deficiencies in preparatory material and in key undergraduate atmospheric science courses be completed within the first year of graduate study.
