Graduate Programmes

The PhD is an integrative program with strong linkages between physical geography, environmental science and many disciplines within the physical and natural sciences, including earth and agricultural sciences, chemistry, biology, physics and applied mathematics. Most students interested in the cryosphere work with CEOS, the Centre for Earth Observation Science. Through student driven research and by identifying areas and careers of interest, graduate students develop a focus area and acquire the knowledge and skills to enter further research programs and the workforce. CEOS offers integrative programming and strong linkages between physical geography, environmental science and many disciplines, including earth and agricultural sciences, chemistry, biology, physics and applied mathematics. Graduate students can develop projects related to sea ice geophysics, glacier and ice sheet dynamics, polar marine systems, trophic structure, paleoclimate through ice cores, energy and contaminant flows. Between our facilities, labs and field locations, CEOS offers a wealth of opportunity for aspiring researchers to complete formal education while gaining employable skills and experience.
