MSc in Atmospheric Science in Cambridge United States | Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The EAPS graduate program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate (PAOC) tackles some of science's most complex and critical challenges, including hurricane physics and ice age dynamics. Covering physical and chemical oceanography, biogeochemistry, and atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, our curriculum focuses on combining theoretical, observational, and computational methods.

The Atmospheric Science Program promotes a holistic strategy incorporating theory, modeling, experimentation, and data interpretation. Research domains span atmospheric dynamics, weather systems, convective processes, upper atmosphere behavior, tropical weather patterns, atmospheric chemistry, and radiative processes. Given its interdisciplinary scope, the program frequently incorporates mathematics and chemistry studies. Current research topics encompass ozone depletion, hurricane mechanics, adaptive observation techniques, and ocean-atmosphere exchanges.
