Note to Graduate Students
Climate change is a defining environmental issue for our century. The science of climate and climate change is fascinating because the earth system is richly multifaceted, and because humanity can so profoundly affect and be affected by it. The PCC is the place to be for cutting-edge graduate studies and research in climate science. It brings together UW's world-renowned departments and institutes in all the geophysical sciences for a truly interdisciplinary immersion in the latest findings and ideas from paleoclimate to sea-ice to clouds to chemistry to rocks to ecosystems to human impacts, policy and solutions.
Our graduate students bond into a community in our team-taught core courses, then organize their own seminars, conferences and public outreach. Drill a Greenland ice core, take samples on a research cruise or flight, work with the world's leading climate models, or study climate change impacts on local ecosystems...our scientists can give you the opportunity to do all these things and many more.
Become a part of the PCC and experience the excitement of interdisciplinary climate research in one of the nations most beautiful environments.
