All climatologists in Geography are also part of the Atmospheric Science programme, which includes faculty from Earth and Ocean Sciences, Soil Science and other departments. The department is also part of a Collaborative Research and Training Experience on Atmospheric Aerosols (NSERC-CREATE–AAP). This is a unified training and fellowship-funding program designed to develop interdisciplinary skills for atmospheric aerosol researchers ranging from undergraduate students to post-doctoral fellows. Aerosols have important impacts on climate, air quality, and human health.
