物理学哲学博士-地球，大气和行星物理学

物理系提供研究生课程，导致理学硕士和哲学博士学位。该系在以下领域进行实验和理论物理学的研究：大气物理学，地球物理学，量子光学，凝聚态物理学，亚原子物理学和天体物理学以及生物物理学。该系与加拿大理论天体物理学研究所（CITA）有着密切的联系。该协会使我们的学生能够与被任命为CITA或正在访问CITA的顶尖理论家合作并进行咨询。<br> <br>物理系的地球，大气和行星物理学（EAPP）小组进行的研究重点涉及地球和行星的全球规模物理过程，包括内部，海洋和大气层。该小组对与（1）行星流体动力学和气候动力学有关的
The Department of Physics offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department carries out research in experimental and theoretical physics in the following fields: atmospheric physics, geophysics, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, subatomic physics and astrophysics, and biophysics. The department has close ties with the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA). This association enables students to work and consult with leading theorists who are appointed to, or who are visiting, CITA. Students are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. The department provides financial support for one year of the MSc and four years of the PhD program (five years for direct-entry PhD).<br>The Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Physics (EAPP) group within the Department of Physics conducts research focused on global-scale physical processes in the Earth and planets including the interiors, oceans and atmospheres. The group carries out basic research in areas of physics related to (1) planetary fluid dynamics and climate dynamics using theory and computation, (2) experimental design and implementation of global observational/remote sensing systems, and (3) state-of-the-art analysis of observed global-scale data. The EAPP group takes advantage of extensive technical and disciplinary connections between the classical areas of atmosphere/ocean science, geophysics, and planetary physics. While the group is focused on basic science, its research bears directly on a host of applications including international scientific assessments of global climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, mapping of the Earth's internal structures in the context of understanding the dynamics of Earth's interior, earthquake characterization and seismic hazard assessment, environmental impacts of atmospheric pollution involving tropospheric ozone and biomass burning, and prediction of weather and climate on all timescales.
