Geophysics and Meteorology (4 Years) BSc

Meteorology employs physical principles and quantitative techniques analogous to geophysics to analyze atmospheric dynamics and the multifaceted drivers of climate change. These methods facilitate the systematic study of meteorological phenomena, including the physical mechanisms underlying precipitation such as rain and snow, as well as the thermodynamics of high-energy systems like storms and hurricanes. The fundamental connection between geophysics and meteorology is established by various Earth processes that directly influence atmospheric composition, climate, and weather patterns. For instance, gravity and complex heat transfer mechanisms regulate the movement of air masses, while the interaction between ocean currents and the atmosphere dictates global heat distribution.
