Our sub discipline practices an integrative education and research foundation in Meteorological and Climate systems, whilst accommodating an affluent mixture of interdisciplinary and specialist research which covers the broad aspects of Meteorology and Climatology. The Meteorology/ Climatology sub discipline is constructed of students, staff and researchers from a variety of posts. Our undergraduate schemes consist of students who belong in the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Primary College Clusters and the newly founded (H19, 2006) College of Geoscience, of the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. Our graduate schemes consist of the Master`s program in Geoscience (First stage and Second stage), Master’s program in Environmental Sciences (First Stage and Second Stage) and the Doctoral Program in Geoenvironmental Science. The department also utilizes a wide range of facilities, such as the Center for Computational Sciences, Continental Environment Research Center and so forth.
Our department utilizes this diversity and achieves a very cross disciplinary research transaction through methods such as joint seminars, combined with research practiced within each individual laboratory. For further details, please visit the individual websites of the seminar groups and the research groups.
Within Meteorology/ Climatology, the phenomenon which exist in the atmosphere are classified into Global scale, Mesoscale and Microscale. Through Observations, Analysis and Modelling, we aim to educate in deepening our understanding with the individual physical processes and their locality. Furthermore, by comprehensively understanding the transactional processes characteristic of meteorology that occur within the Earth system, we would be able to comprehend the structure of the climate system in order to develop personnel who are able to contribute in the preservation of the Earth’s environment.
