METEOROLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS - Bachelor of Science, Single-Subject

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn 📍 Bonn · North Rhine-Westphalia

About the Program

Meteorology is a largely physically and chemically oriented natural science that deals with the state, composition and movement of the atmosphere. Geophysics deals with the earth's structure, its physical states and phenomena as well as its interior processes. The classic objective of meteorology is to understand and predict the weather, while geophysics aims at measuring, characterizing and modeling the solid earth and its physical fields. In-situ tools and remote sensing methods, such as radar and laser technology as well as satellites, allow a non-invasive observation of processes in the atmosphere and the subsurface. Once processed with statistical and numerical methods, measurement data are used for process-related analyses and as starting points in mathematical-physical models to describe and forecast meteorological and geophysical phenomena. Both disciplines form part of the earth sciences, have a strong focus on physics and mathematics and aim at capturing, analyzing and predicting physical processes of the earth system. Combining meteorology and geophysics makes it possible to model the significant exchange processes between the involved spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere and lithosphere) as well as to phrase and approach questions in current climate and environmental research.
