GPAS faculty conduct research in a variety of topics, including climate dynamics from regional to global scales, synoptic meteorology and extreme events, tropical meteorology, paleoclimate, cloud and radiation physics, ocean-atmosphere interactions, land-atmosphere interactions, and climate-chemistry-aerosol interactions.
Features
- Any prospective student with a Bachelor's Degree or higher in a mathematical or scientific discipline is a candidate for the program. Previous education in atmospheric sciences is not required for acceptance.
- Beginning students are required to have taken calculus through differential equations (usually 4 semesters), two semesters of physics for the sciences (including laboratory), one semester of atmospheric thermodynamics, and one semester of atmospheric dynamics.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- This program is designed to furnish the student with the education and research background necessary to carry out independent and original scientific research.
- To earn the Ph.D., the student must complete a course work requirement, pass the Candidacy Examination, and prepare and defend a dissertation.
- The Candidacy Examination is divided into two parts: the Qualifying Examination and the Proposal Evaluation.
- The Qualifying Examination for Ph.D. candidates tests the breadth and understanding of the student in the core courses.
- The Proposal Evaluation tests the preparation of the student for writing a dissertation. Students who have a Master's Degree must also pass the Candidacy Examination to achieve Ph.D. candidacy.
