The climatology program is rooted in the Office of Climatology, a teaching and research facility established within the School of Geographical Sciences in 1973. The facilities provide a unique setting that encourages interaction among faculty, staff, and students. There are four full-time climate faculty members within the Office and approximately 52 undergraduates and 10 graduate students enrolled in the climate program.
