社会遭受的自然灾害的频率更高，包括由于飓风，龙卷风，洪水，风暴潮，火山爆发，山体滑坡，冰雹，山火和地震造成的自然灾害。由于许多灾难对迅速变化的气候敏感，因此其影响超过了社会在工程，建筑，公共卫生，商业和治理部门中实现抵御能力的能力。世界银行估计，这些灾难每年造成的损失达1,840亿美元，仅2011年福岛海啸和核灾难造成的损失就达200亿巴林。<br> <br>迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院在全球范围内开展研究对造成这些灾难的地球系统（包括大气层，海洋和固体地球）进行一流的研究。为了满足社会对熟练劳
Society is experiencing higher frequencies of natural catastrophes, including those due to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, storm surge, volcanic eruptions, landslides, hail, wildfires and earthquakes. As many of these disasters are sensitive to a rapidly changing climate, their impacts are outpacing society's ability to achieve resilience within the engineering, architecture, public health, business and governance sectors. The World Bank estimates the costs of these catastrophes at 184 billion per year, with the 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear disaster alone costing 200 billon.<br><br>The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science conducts world-class research on the earth systems responsible for these disasters, including the atmosphere, the ocean and solid earth. To meet society's need for a skilled workforce, this program offers an educational opportunity for students seeking to fill positions offered by the private and civil sectors to assess risks and exposures associated with natural hazards. The goal is to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand earth system natural hazards (atmospheric, oceanic, geological and hydrological) and the data analytics tools required to assess the associated risks (e.g. statistics, data management, programming, GIS, and remote sensing). The strategic selection of electives exposes students to legal and regulatory knowledge, communication and media training, and the development of project management skills, all designed to prepare them to address these challenges as future global leaders. This degree will prepare its graduates for employment in several sectors, including insurance and re-insurance industry, architecture, emergency management, engineering, public health and science.
