Graduate Study in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Graduate Certificate in Geohydrology
Students completing the master's or doctoral degree requirements of the School may be awarded a Multidisciplinary Geohydrology Certificate if their program of study satisfies the requirements of the Multidisciplinary Geohydrology program. Additional details can be found in this catalog under Multidisciplinary Certificate Programs in Engineering.
Graduate Certificate in Remote Sensing
Remote sensing refers to a means of investigating the properties of a target using measurements made at some distance from the target. Applications range from astronomy and environmental applications to medical radiography and automotive collision avoidance radars, as well as security-enhancing sensors. In the last three decades, sensing of the Earth and its atmosphere has increased very substantially because of climate change and global pollution concerns and because of the need for measurements to support the increasingly sophisticated weather and earthquake forecasting and oil and gas surveying capabilities.
The primary administration of the certificate is through Dr. Jud Ready, Executive Director of the Space Research Institute.
Students completing the master's or doctoral degree requirements of the following Schools listed below may be awarded a Remote Sensing Certificate:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
- Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Chemistry and Biochemistry
- City Planning
