THE
DEPARTMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES AND THE INSTITUTE OF
ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES AT THE SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES AND
TECHNOLOGY
announce the availability of Graduate Research Assistantships
for Spring and Fall 2010. Assistantships are available in the
areas of thunderstorm dynamics/evolution, cloud physics, radar
meteorology, mesoscale modeling and analysis, atmospheric
chemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology, numerical modeling and
analysis. Study leads to an M.S. degree in Atmospheric Sciences
and/or a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences. A
substantial tuition reduction is also granted to GRA's. Please
send inquiries to: Chair, Department of Atmospheric Sciences,
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, 501 E. St. Joseph

The research staff at IAS study the
physical, chemical, and biological processes that affect the
composition and dynamics of the atmosphere. Research is directly
linked to an undergraduate and graduate program (see the
Department of Atmospheric Sciences) that provides a fundamental
understanding of the atmosphere, and opportunities for applied
research, theoretical research, and technical training to prepare
students for careers in meteorology, atmospheric science, remote
sensing and environmental technology.
