What is Weather and Climate Risk and Data Analytics?
Our program is different than traditional weather forecasting. We teach you to conduct computational analysis/analytics of weather and climate data, implement and use predictive models for the weather-climate interface, and assess weather and climate-related risk. This particular skillset is different than but complementary to forecasting skills, and is particularly desirable in the private sector, which is the fastest-growing employment sector in the atmospheric sciences.
Is weather and climate data right for me?
Students already working in the atmospheric sciences and related fields, or those already engaged in preparing for a career in these fields, can earn a terminal degree specifically focused on the tools and knowledge needed to assess weather and climate risk, and conduct rigorous analysis of weather and climate data. Gain cutting-edge marketability, knowledge, and skills to increase your earning potential.
