Program Overview

We engage in fundamental research in atmospheric science, both independently and in cooperation with federal and provincial laboratories and other research groups around the world. The emphasis of the research is on studies of processes and developing physical understanding of the atmosphere. The research commonly involves field or laboratory measurement and observation; data analysis and interpretation; and numerical model construction, modification and validation.

Career Prospect
The 2-year MSc program in Atmospheric Science prepares students to be analysts of the atmospheric environment. Industry jobs include air-quality and environmental consulting, weather-related renewable energy (wind, solar, and hydro power), modeling of the environment, weather-related natural disasters (forest fires, avalanches, floods), computer programming of tailored weather forecasts, and big-data analysis. Government jobs span municipal, regional, and provincial environment ministries as well as traditional weather-forecasting jobs with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). Graduates can also get jobs as airline pilots and air-traffic controllers.

ATSC Masters programs include: thesis option, non-thesis (course-based) option, and co-op option (where you work part time with industry, academia, or government). About 40% of the Masters students, those with high grades and strong recommendations, choose to switch into the PhD program after the first year of course work without finishing a Masters degree first.
