从改善明年大气温度的数值模型预测到解释先前时代的地质分层，从监测通过大气的水传输到模拟海洋底部的水运动，大气科学系的科学家和学生，海洋和地球科学（AOES）致力于以多种方式更好地了解我们的星球。AOES是活跃的研究计划和气候动力学博士学位的所在地，气候动力学是地球系统科学的硕士学位，大气学的本科学位科学，地球科学和地质，以及大气科学，地球科学，海洋与河口科学和古生物学的本科生。该系与海洋-陆地-大气研究中心（COLA）有密切联系，该学位是为有兴趣研究地球及其过程的学生而设计的。学生将获得广泛的地球科学背景
From improving numerical model predictions of next year's atmospheric temperature to explaining geological strata laid down in previous eras, from monitoring water transport through the atmosphere to modeling water movement at the bottom of the ocean, scientists and students in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Earth Sciences (AOES) are working to better understand our planet in myriad ways.AOES is home to active research programs and to a doctoral program in Climate Dynamics, a Master's degree in Earth System Science, undergraduate degrees in Atmospheric Science, Earth Science, and Geology, and undergraduate minors in Atmospheric Science, Earth Science, Ocean and Estuarine Science, and Paleontology. The department has close ties to the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA).This degree is intended for students interested in studying the Earth and its processes. Students receive a broad background in the Earth sciences and select one of five specialty concentrations. The concentrations in Earth Surface Processes, Environmental Geoscience, Geology, and Paleontology are solely offered by the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences. The concentration in Oceanography and Estuarine science is offered jointly with the Department of Environmental Science and Policy, where specific advising is also available.
