Primary Function of Organizational Unit


On July 1, 2013, North Carolina State University launched a new College of Sciences that brought together the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences. This strategic move enables us to build on our existing synergies - in research, teaching, mentoring, and outreach - to elevate NC State's impact and reputation as the destination for students and faculty in the science disciplines.

The Department of Marine Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) includes approximately 40 faculty, 100 graduate students and 240 undergraduates involved in basic and applied studies of Earth Systems. The department offers BA, BS, MS, and PhD degrees. Our principal concentrations include weather prediction, air quality, air-sea interactions, storm and climate modeling, hydrology, geochemistry, oceanography, surface processes and regional geology.

The multi-disciplinary nature of our department lends itself to the study of such problems as prediction of severe weather (e.g. hurricanes), coastal erosion, pollution of surface and ground water, and global climate change. While basic research is always important, many of our research projects also have direct application to current issues such as water quality/water supply, seafood harvests, climate change, weather prediction and land use.
MEAS offers degree programs in marine sciences, geology and meteorology. Our programs include many tracks in each of our program areas - and thus provide the opportunity for an education broader than the conventional bachelors degrees in more traditional departments.

Although our faculty are heavily involved in research, all courses in our majors are normally taught by regular faculty and all faculty are involved in teaching. Involvement of undergraduates and graduate students in research is a major emphasis.
