MSc in Atmospheric Science in Davis United States | University of California Davis

Atmospheric science explores the physical, chemical, and dynamic properties of Earth's atmosphere and its interactions with water systems and living organisms. Learners develop expertise in areas like air quality, weather patterns, atmospheric composition, small-scale meteorology, biological weather interactions, climate systems, regional weather phenomena, global atmospheric movements, and computer-based forecasting. Graduates acquire both theoretical and analytical capabilities required for academic and scientific careers focused on atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric motions, and their connections to Earth's water and life systems. The Atmospheric Science Graduate Group provides Master's and Doctoral programs. Students can specialize in one or more disciplines, including air pollution meteorology, atmospheric chemical processes, cloud physics, biological weather interactions, small-scale atmospheric studies, predictive modeling, satellite observation techniques, climate system behavior, global circulation patterns, regional and surface-level weather systems, computational earth sciences, severe weather events, and climate change effects. The faculty's wide-ranging expertise enables cross-disciplinary education and investigation.
