The Department of Climate, Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences offers a Master’s degree in Weather and Climate Risk and Data Analytics, designed to meet the demand for atmospheric scientists with post-graduate education in the:
- computational analysis/analytics of weather and climate data using Python and R
- implementation and use of predictive models for the weather-climate interface
- assessment of weather- and climate-related risk
This particular skill set is different than, but complementary to that of traditional weather forecasting, and is particularly desirable in the private sector, which is the fastest-growing employment sector in the atmospheric sciences. The program is fully online, which precludes the need for an extended absence from a current position and/or personal responsibilities, and otherwise maximizes learning flexibility. The degree is designed to be completed within two years.
