University of Georgia Atmospheric Sciences Program Current Program Director, Dr. J. Marshall Shepherd, Undergraduate Advisor, Dr. John Knox, Graduate Advisor, Dr. David Stooksbury UGA's does.

The Board of Regents recently approved a Major in Atmospheric Sciences. The Major should be active in Spring 2017. From its inception, our Certificate program was a certificate program on "steroids" at 21 hours. Its founders recognized that UGA needed to offer strong curriculum to meet employer needs. Due to expansion of our Faculty and the needs of the students, our program now requires 30+ hours and is on par with any atmospheric sciences major/BS program in the country. At the same time, an array of “certificate” programs is sprouting. Most of these certificate programs are NOT as robust and do NOT meet American Meteorological Society or Federal Civil service requirements for employment or certification. Yet, the perception is that all certificate programs are the same. Evolving our program into a major makes sense given that the "credit hours are in Degree-level numbers" and to help our students get the respect they deserve for the work they have put in during college in our program.

Heat could pose a danger to workers at the upcoming FIFA World Cup, according to a new study from UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

In an analysis of 30 years of weather data from venue host cities, researchers found that many jobs at the event exceeded recommended heat exposure and alert limits, putting workers at risk for heat-related health problems such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
