Climate-related risks play a crucial role in decision-making processes for water resource management and connected industries like energy, healthcare, farming, ecological conservation, and disaster mitigation. Climate uncertainties generally fall into two categories - those stemming from human-caused climate shifts and those arising from natural fluctuations occurring over seasonal to centennial timescales. Climate transformation challenges influence how we develop physical structures, social frameworks, and economic systems supporting these sectors. Meanwhile, climate variability and forecasting considerations affect operational strategies and consequently shape system designs.

Qualification Requirements
The basic requirement for admission as a graduate student is the bachelor's degree received from an institution of acceptable standing. Ordinarily, the applicant will have majored in the field in which graduate study is intended, but in certain programs preparation in a related field of engineering or science is acceptable. The applicant will be admitted only if the undergraduate record shows promise of productive and effective graduate work.
The Master of Science (MS) degree is required for admission into the PhD and EngScD degree programs. A student who holds an appropriate bachelor's degree in engineering may apply for admission to either the MS only or MS leading to PhD program.
The following materials must accompany the online application for on-campus graduate programs-
