约克大学

Specialize in: Atmospheric Science, Geomatics Science, or Space Science.

In Atmospheric Science you'll learn to forecast the weather and will develop a deep understanding of the processes driving severe weather and climate change. Top off your degree with a Certificate in Meteorology. In Geomatics Science you'll study about Earth's gravity field, modern geophysics, satellite geodesy, and surveying. Add depth to your degree with a certificate in GIS & Remote Sensing. In Space Science you'll explore planetary space environments and instrument design. You'll learn from profs involved in international space projects such as WINDII and OSIRIS.

What You’ll Learn

Atmospheric Science explores meteorology from the turbulent micro scale to the large synoptic scale weather systems. In our program, you will learn how we use computer models to forecast the weather and will develop a deeper understanding of the processes that drive severe weather, climate and climate change. You can top off your degree with a Certificate in Meteorology.

In Geomatics Science (formerly Earth Science), you will study about modern geophysics, Earth’s gravity field, satellite geodesy, reference systems, plus surveying and mapping with emphasis in the areas of geospatial science and applications. Our program provides you the knowledge and skills to work with terrestrial, aerial and space observing platforms. Add depth to your degree with a certificate in Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing.

Space Science explores the near Earth space environment as well as other planets. You will learn how to investigate and establish new satellite programs for optical aeronomy, dynamics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere and monitoring the recovering ozone layer.
