Graduate Academic Program
Producing scientific leaders and experts requires an advanced graduate program that engages students in research on the vanguard of the discipline. To that end, Howard University has assembled a cadre of talented faculty who are already making significant contributions, for example, in their leadership of international field experiments in West Africa to study the genesis of tropical storms.

They have fostered productive research collaborations with NASA scientists. The Water Vapor Variability Satellite/Sondes (WAVES) field experiment that was conducted at the Howard University Beltsville Campus between 2006 and 2008 is one such example. WAVES accomplished important science for NASA in terms of AURA and AIRS ground validation (as evidenced by the resulting publications) while engaging numerous graduate and undergraduate students.
The mission of the Beltsville Center for Climate System Observation (BCCSO) is to lead a transformation in atmospheric research and education by inspiring traditionally underrepresented groups. Our goal is to:
- Create Science and Academic Leaders
- Educate the Next Generation of Scientists
- Conduct Research to Improve Weather, Climate, and Air Quality Prediction
- Establish a World Class Atmospheric Research Facility
