Graduate Education & Research
 

Several departments at Berkeley offer graduate education and research in the atmospheric sciences and allied fields including the Department of Chemistry; Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Department of Earth and Planetary Science; Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management; and the Department of Geography. Here's a list of current and recent atmospheric science-related courses offered at Berkeley.

Our members have extensive and ongoing research projects on a variety of topics on climate and atmosspheric science. For example: laboratory studies and computer simulations of photochemistry and reaction dynamics; on linkages between molecular level interactions and the global climate; tropical ocean-atmosphere interactions; glacier and ice sheet dynamics; studies of carbon-climate interactions; field and theoretical studies in biosphere-atmosphere and ecosystem-climate interactions; elucidating sources, atmospheric transport, and photochemical reactions associated with air pollution; and laboratory and field-based measurements of trace gases in different terrestrial ecosystems.

Prospective students should contact the BASC faculty members whose interests are most closely aligned with theirs. A list of core and affiliated faculty and their research interests can be found here. Inquiries can also be sent to study@atmos.berkeley.edu
In general, topics of active research interest (and those members interested in them) include:

BASC also offers fellowship opportunities to outstanding graduate students.
