Earth & Atmospheric Science at York University

About

In Atmospheric Science you'll study the processes driving severe weather and global climate change and learn how to forecast weather. In Space Science you'll explore planetary environments with professors who are participating in international space missions. In Geomatics Science you'll study Earth's gravity field, satellite geodesy and surveying. Enhance your degree with a certificate in GIS & Remote Sensing or a Certificate in Meteorology. Youâll gain the knowledge and skills needed to take on a wide variety of important and challenging careers in government and industry. What Youâll Learn Atmospheric Science explores meteorology from the turbulent micro scale to the large synoptic scale weather systems. In our program, you will learn how we use computer models to forecast the weather and will develop a deeper understanding of the processes that drive severe weather, climate and climate change. You can top off your degree with a Certificate in Meteorology. In Geomatics Science (formerly Earth Science), you will study about modern geophysics, Earth? gravity field, satellite geodesy, reference systems, plus surveying and mapping with emphasis in the areas of geospatial science and applications. Our program provides you the knowledge and skills to work with terrestrial, aerial and space observing platforms. Add depth to your degree with a certificate in Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing. Space Science explores the near Earth space environment as well as other planets. You will learn how to investigate and establish new satellite programs for optical aeronomy, dynamics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere and monitoring the recovering ozone layer. Some Courses You'll Take Geophysics and Space Science Cloud Physics and Radar Meteorology Numerical Weather Prediction Climate and Climate Change Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere Global Positioning Systems Image Processing for Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Space Mission Design Career Paths Include Meteorologist Geodesist GIS Analyst Cadastral Land Surveyor Earth/Atmospheric Scientist Note: Many students combine a degree in Earth & Atmospheric Science with a certificate in Geographic Information Systems & Remote Sensing or a certificate Meteorology (the only undergraduate Meteorology program in Ontario).
