Master of Science in Climate Science and Engineering

Climate change is and will be a defining issue for civilization in the 21st century. Offered jointly by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering and the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences in the College of Science, the MS in Climate Science and Engineering prepares students to tackle the inherently multidisciplinary challenges that climate change presents for both natural and engineered systems.Upon completion of the program, students will be prepared for climate-facing positions in engineering and industrial firms, consultancies, and environmental organizations in the public and private sector. They can also pursue a doctoral-level research program.Describe carbon cycling in earth systems and the effects of climate forcing in atmospheric, terrestrial, and ocean systems.Design and analyze the technical potential of proposals to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.Design and analyze the technical potential of proposals to adapt to climate change.Communicate effectively on climate topics between science and engineering disciplines and with the general public.
