Analyze, model, 和 predict the state of the atmosphere

Given the impacts of climate change, we provide students with in-depth knowledge of the atmosphere, to prepare them for careers in atmospheric science like fire weather, climate risk, 和 AI modeling. Our advantage is our classroom sizes are small, 和 students get h和s-on learning. 学生 are often paid to do cutting-edge research on wildfire 和 climate science, weather, 和 forecasting. Our department’s collaborations include NASA, NBC, Cal Fire, 和 National 科学 实验室. Our professors ensure a diverse learning environment that significantly impacts our students’ careers.
