The Graduate Program in Meteorology at the University of São Paulo aims to train researchers and professionals with solid knowledge in atmospheric sciences, including not only traditional areas but also “climate change,” “atmosphere-biosphere interaction,” “atmosphere-ocean interaction,” and “atmospheric pollution and its effects on humans and the environment.”

A solid foundation in these areas enables students to have versatile and autonomous roles to face the challenges that academic or professional activities will present. In the past, most applicants to the program were graduates from Meteorology, Physics, and Mathematics programs. However, nowadays, in addition to these, the research areas developed within the program have attracted geographers, biologists, chemists, engineers, and others. More information on the evolution of the number of degrees awarded since its creation can be found in the Statistics section.
