Graduate Programs:

The Environmental Planning Section offers several Master's programs:

  • Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS):
    Analyzes satellite imagery and spatial data to be used in various fields like urban planning, agriculture, natural resource management etc.
    • Meteorology (specialization in Environmental Meteorology): Focuses on weather and climate conditions, with a specialization in environmental impacts. Important in a dry region like Yazd for water resource management, agriculture, and urban development.
    • Geomorphology (specialization in Environmental Planning): Studies the Earth's landforms and the processes that shape them. This knowledge is important for various aspects of environmental planning and hazard mitigation.
    • Environmental Hazards: Studies the various environmental hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts etc. This knowledge is useful for identifying and planning for these hazards, especially in a region like Yazd prone to such issues.

Doctoral Programs:

  • Meteorology (Climatology) with a specialization in Climate Hazards: An advanced program focusing on the study of climate and climate hazards.
