Climate Science
Why Study Climate Science?
An understanding of climate science is essential to the interpretation of climate variations and change, as well as the assessment of their impacts on diverse human populations and ecological systems. The Stony Brook Climate Science program prepares students to be climate professionals who can help develop and implement strategies for mitigation of, as well as adaptation to, adverse impacts of climate change. Students in this program learn basic scientific information on processes in the atmosphere and the ocean that drive climate change and are informed about current and anticipated climate impacts and possible mitigation and adaptation strategies. Students learn about threats to coastal environments, economic and social impacts of climate and how the various aspects of climate have evolved over the history of the Earth.
