Courses
LAP members offer both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses, mainly focusing in the fields of Atmospheric Physics and Environmental Physics.
Special emphasis is given to observational atmospheric physics via the ground-based instrumentation available in LAP. Hence, a number of applied and experiment-oriented courses, such as Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, are offered as elective courses in the undergraduate level.
Currently, cutting-edge courses relating to the environment,such as Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management, are only taught on a postgraduate level.
