Overview

In studying Earth's atmosphere, you'll examine key variables - temperature, pressure, water vapor - and their interactions and how they shift with time. Upon completion of the Atmospheric Sciences program offered by The University of Arizona, you'll be adept at analyzing the forces that create weather and trained to forecast those forces. Areas of research include changes in hydrologic extremes under a warmer climate, weather analysis and predictability, atmospheric chemistry, and more.

Career

The career outlook for atmospheric sciences is excellent, due largely to the expanding workforce dealing with the environment, energy, and climate.

The students pursue careers within the private sector, state government, federal government, and national research laboratories. As consultants and scientists, they are employed by:

Renewable energy industry, private weather forecasting companies, and the aviation industry
State government, e.g. Departments of Transportation, Environment
Federal government, e.g. NASA, National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of the Air Force
National research laboratories and institutes, e.g. Desert Research Institute, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
