The Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering PhD Program is an integrated study designed to give students first a broad base of knowledge in atmospheric, space and planetary sciences followed by more in-depth, concentrated studies in specific areas. The Climate and Space doctoral program is small, and all PhD students are fully supported by faculty research andor fellowships. There is no guessing as to the research or faculty as students are paired with a faculty member upon admission. Information on the application requirements, process, and deadlines is available here. Research and Faculty: For more than 60 years, Climate & Space has been contributing to the development of atmospheric and space sciences, through research sponsored by NASA, NSF, DoD and other governmental and non-governmental agencies. This support has contributed to the education of the next generation of scientists, engineers and managers that the nation needs to continue being the “leaders and the best” in the future. Areas of Research in Atmospheric and Space Sciences are far-ranging. The proven blending of these disciplines has put Climate & Space faculty and students at the forefront of the necessary movement in climate and space research to understand the Earth, atmosphere, planets, solar system, and space weather in a whole systemic view, rather than individual components. The Climate & Space distinguished body of senior faculty, internationally renowned in their fields of study, have been recognized by their peers with numerous honors. Their illustrious reputations have attracted some of the most talented junior faculty to the department where they are involved in cutting edge atmospheric and space research.
