Physics of the Earth and Atmosphere

["The overarching objective of the Master's degree programme is to convey to students advanced knowledge and skills that will enable them to practice the profession of meteorologist or geophysicist.In the area of meteorology, this means building on existing knowledge from the Bachelor’s degree programme in the broadest sense in order to develop the ability to mathematically and natural scientifically observe, analyse and predict environmental variations that occur in the atmosphere or in connection with it.In the area of geophysics, such knowledge and skills primarily include the ability to mathematically and natural scientifically observe and analyse physical occurrences and phenomena that take place inside the earth (e.g. earthquakes). In the area of applied geophysics, the central skill conveyed to students is the ability to develop and deploy geophysical measurement procedures for the exploration, evaluation and use of georesources (e.g. mineral deposits and water).The degree programme puts particular emphasis on enabling students to independently solve constantly changing problems, respond flexibly to new challenges and develop innovative ideas. Students gain comprehensive specialised knowledge of diverse phenomena in the earth and its atmosphere while mastering the methods used to forecast future developments of processes. Graduates of this degree programme have the ability to conduct and refine methods and procedures used to observe and—especially in meteorology—forecast the weather and climate.https://www.ifgeo.uni-bonn.de/studiere-pea"]
