A central aim of the brand new main is to draw a big and various pool of undergraduate college students to handle the crucial wants of local weather science, starting with an schooling at Columbia and its new Local weather Faculty. These college students will be part of an inclusive program that can put together them as extremely knowledgeable residents and professionals within the quickly rising and diversifying local weather job market, from academia to Wall Avenue to Massive Tech to the United Nations.

The Local weather System Science main is designed for college kids who’re considering how the previous, current, and future local weather system works — and in creating options to the quickly accelerating local weather disaster. Whereas constructing a basic science understanding of the local weather system, Local weather System Science majors will develop solution-oriented analytical considering and experience. The versatile course construction combines geology, physics, biology, chemistry and math with a core in climate-system science and extra electives targeted on local weather options, justice, coverage and communications programs. Tracks like these in sea-level change, decarbonization, and trendy local weather hyperlink to the mission and utilized facilities of Columbia’s Local weather Faculty.
