The BS in Atmospheric and Earth Science with a concentration in Atmospheric Science/Meteorology Atmospheric science is an interdisciplinary field that combines physics and chemistry to study the composition, structure and dynamics of Earth's atmosphere. Students learn about weather analysis and predictability, climate change, the circulation of the atmosphere relating to clouds, weather systems, and air quality and use observations, mathematical tools and computer models to describe the atmosphere and its impacts. Related careers include weather forecaster, radar/satellite imagery analyst, operational meteorologist, emergency manager, forensic meteorologist, climatologist, broadcast meteorologist, wildfire meteorologist, aviation forecaster, and air pollution analyst.
