Alright yea I think GPA will be more of an issue for me. I will try to take some math courses during my master to see if it helps. So the name of the major doesn't really have much influence. It's just about the courses and research right?

I have been doing researches on air pollution modeling for a year now and will be doing related researches during my master degree as well. Therfore I am not sure if the research portion contributes more to my degree overall or the coursework still matters. Its a 2 year program and it requires only 3 coursework 2 core courses and 1 elective 1. Climate Change: Science, Policy and Management (core) 2. Sustainability Economics; or Sustainable Development (core) 3. Atmospheric Chemistry; or Introduction to Atmospheric Aerosols (Elective) The two core courses seem irrelevant to want I am pursuing and that's why I am wondering if that will make any difference towards my future, if I choose to get a Phd in Atm Science.

If I get an MPhil degree in Environmental Science Policy and Management and do well with it, whats the chance of me getting admitted into a decent Atmospheric Science Phd program? http://www.envr.ust.hk/programs/research-postgraduate-program/mphil-phd-in-espm/curriculum-courses/curriculum.html I am a BS in Atmospheric Science but GPA 2.8, and 1-year working experience in air pollution modeling. My poor GPA is due to performing poorly in maths and physics and this should be a main problem in graduate school admission for atmospheric science.
