Overview

Bachelor of Science - Earth & Atmospheric Science

If you’re curious about the world around you and interested in topics like climate change, satellites and weather forecasting, this is the perfect program to develop your passion. 

You’ll study the processes driving severe weather and global climate change and learn how to forecast weather. 

Enhance your degree with a Certificate in Meteorology. 

York offers three streams in this program: 

Atmospheric Science, Geomatics Science, and Space Science. 

Atmospheric Science explores meteorology from the turbulent micro-scale to the large synoptic-scale weather systems. 

In the program, you will learn how to 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 an included Certificate in Meteorology.

In Geomatics Science you will study modern geophysics, Earth’s gravity field, satellite geodesy, reference systems, plus surveying and mapping with emphasis in the areas of geospatial science and applications. 

This program provides you with 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 planetary space environments as well as instrument design. 

You’ll learn from professors involved in international space projects such as WINDII, OSIRIS, Phoenix Mars Lander, and OSIRIS-REx. 

You will gain the knowledge and skills to investigate and establish new satellite programs for optical aeronomy, dynamics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere and monitoring the recovering ozone layer.
