Hi Marc,
Though engineers contribute to a broad range of areas, including biomedical
engineering, astronomy, remote imaging and meteorology, the later is certainly not part of
any engineering school curriculum in Australia that I am personally aware of.
It would be a Science Degree, run by schools of earth sciences or schools of
environmental science or the like.
Schools of mathematics with strong applied mathematics departments would
also be a possible path. Again it would be part of a Science Degree.
The Bureau has some useful links here -

Some of the institutions mentioned include Charles Sturt, Monash and
the University of Melbourne.
From the same link, you can see there are a rich and diverse number of potential employers at the end.
It can literally take you to the ends of the Earth as part of the Australian Antarctic Expedition.
