Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours) - Climate Science

Climate change is the largest scientific challenge facing humanity. Adapting to ongoing climate change depends on a strong scientific understanding of the fundamental climatic processes that form an integral component of Earth system science.The ANU’s Climate Science major is a unique multidisciplinary climate science program that provides a foundation in atmospheric science, chemistry, physics, biology, statistics and scientific programming. Emphasis is placed on understanding past, present and future climate variability and change through a range of statistical, modelling, laboratory and field approaches.Learning OutcomesThink critically about climate science issues, integrate information, and construct logical, consistent and synthesised arguments.Quantitatively analyse climate data and climate model output using a variety of observations and techniques.Draw on diverse learning environments including field, laboratory and classroom settings encompassing individual and group learning.Perform process-oriented, multidisciplinary studies to critically evaluate hypotheses and models on how our climate system and the life within operate.
