Welcome to the graduate program in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University! You can find information about the department here.
In the spirit of the land-grant concept, the primary mission of the Department of Atmospheric Science is to provide quality graduate education; to conduct groundbreaking research in the atmospheric sciences; and to provide service to Colorado, the nation, and the world. This includes collaborating closely with other Colorado State groups sharing the environmental mission and with national and international groups addressing weather, climate and environmental issues. This mission will be accomplished by maintaining a world-recognized graduate education/research department with its attendant faculty and facilities. Central to the mission objectives are the discovery of new knowledge; the preparation of future leaders in atmospheric science; the development of new observational, modeling and analysis techniques; and, activities to aid the transfer of
the new knowledge and new techniques to practical applications. Each faculty member in the Department of Atmospheric Science will contribute substantially and strive for excellence in each of the three areas: teaching, research and service.
