Mathematical Geoscience

Research encompasses quantitative modeling, analysis, and simulation of all aspects of the Earth system. Our faculty's research intersects a broad range of geosciences: from lakes and rivers to ocean circulation and sea ice, from the dynamics of aerosols in the planetary boundary layer to stochastic weather generators. The complex and multiscale nature of geophysical systems, in many cases, requires the development of new mathematical models, computational strategies, and statistical approaches.

Appropriate coursework includes numerical analysis, probability and statistics, as well as background courses in atmospheric and oceanic sciences or engineering.  An advanced research seminar series is also offered.
