Advanced atmospheric science research project A

You will do a research project in weather, climate or ocean science. The main relevant areas of research are aerosols (including cloud seeding), boundary layers, climate change, clouds, convection, ENSO, general circulation, synoptic-dynamical meteorology, mesoscale meteorology, numerical modelling, tropical meteorology, and bushfires and fire weather.

In most cases, the project will be a continuation of that completed in EAE4001 but expanded and deepened. The intention is that the completed project should be suitable for submission for publication in a research journal.

Alternatively, you may choose a different research project, with the aim of developing a greater breadth of understanding of atmospheric science. Nonetheless, you must demonstrate greater research maturity and command of the subject matter than that required for EAE4001.

The research project may be theoretical, computational or observation-based. You will work under the supervision of at least one of the academic members of staff. The project will involve a literature review, original research, a written thesis and an oral report on the work.
