I am doing pre-final engineering in biotechnology and interested in becoming a climatologist. Are there institutions offering postgraduate programmes related to climate sciences?- 11-Feb-2008
Climatologists monitor and study climate and the factors that control its variability.
A climatologist may produce climate assessments and forecasts of seasonal conditions or contribute to national and international assessments of climate variability and climate change.
Climatologists are often confused with meteorologists.
A meteorologist studies current weather conditions and makes short-term forecasts about the weather, including temperature, winds, and amount and type of prescription. A climatologist studies long-term trends in the climate.
The climate that you live in depends on your geographic location and altitude. It includes all of the average weather conditions that you experience on an ongoing basis.
The climate determines the types of plants and animals that can inhabit a particular region. Long-term changes in climate can affect energy usage, food production, survival of endangered species, and even health and life expectancy,
Indian institute of Science, Bangalore, has introduced a new course this year-M.Tech Climate science. Eligibility is any bachelors degree in engineering and technology or masters degree in physical sciences. Admission is based on an aptitude test and interview after short-listing based on GATE scores.
