56 Full-time PhD programmes in Climate Studies & Meteorology

The PhD programme of the Department of Water and Climate Risk at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam aims at developing data and modelling methods for the analysis of societal and environmental risk related to water and climate.

At the University of Alberta, we offer our graduate students a PhD degree in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. 

Environmental changes in Earth history can be used to help understand and predict the trajectory of future anthropogenically driven environmental change. This Climate Change, Past, Present and Future programme is offered at The Open University UK/

The Atmospheric Sciences program at the University of Utah is designed to provide students with the advanced scientific and technical expertise necessary to allow our graduates to pursue a wide variety of challenging and rewarding career tracks.

The Meteorology and Physical Oceanography (MPO) program at the University of Miami, prepares students to conduct research in meteorology and physical oceanography. It seeks to advance students’ knowledge and understanding of the physical and dynamical processes in the atmosphere and ocean. 

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences offered by the Department of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences in the Faculty of Science at McGill University is a research-intensive program that emphasizes transformative and cutting-edge learning opportunities. 

Atmospheric Science at the University of California, Davis is the study of the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of the atmosphere and its interrelationship with the hydrosphere and the biosphere. 

Our Atmospheric Sciences students from University of Nevada, Reno learn the identification of environmental threats through the prediction of weather and climate change.

The Climate Sciences program at University of California, San Diego concerns the study of the climate system of the earth with emphasis on the physical, dynamical, and chemical interactions of the atmosphere, ocean, land, ice, and the terrestrial and marine biospheres.

The Meteorology programme offered by Stockholm University develops advanced research expertise in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate processes.

Climate Change and Ecosystem Services research at The Open University UK seeks to monitor and quantify climate-related change for a range of Earth’s systems, while increasing predictive capability through the development of Earth system models of intermediate complexity.

This Meteorology degree programme is offered by the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Pretoria.

The HITEC Energy and Climate programme at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf intends to create optimal conditions for these talented young researchers. Joint lectures and practical training encourage their understanding of topics and the related methods, including joint use of the scientific infrastructure.
