Earth & Atmospheric Science (BSc)
in
Note:
We offer the only degree program in Atmospheric Science in Ontario.
In this program you'll study the structure and dynamics of the earth and its atmosphere. These studies will take you from the centre of the earth to the outer edge of the atmosphere.
What makes this program unique:
You'll benefit from a very small program with an exceptional professor-to-student ratio.
You'll specialize in one of the following:
- Earth Science
This field looks at the structure and dynamics of the earth's core; the origin and maintenance of the earth's main magnetic field; surface plate tectonics; rotational dynamics of the earth and space geodynamics; GIS and data integration; applied geophysics; and remote sensing of the earth from satellites. - Atmospheric Science
You'll study atmospheric dynamics; air quality; climate change; weather prediction; cloud physics; and radar sounding of the atmosphere. The most high profile application in this field is weather prediction.
Many students combine a degree in Earth & Atmospheric Science with a certificate in Geographic Information Systems & Remote Sensing or Meteorology, the only undergraduate meteorology program in Ontario.
