Research Groups

Climate science is an integrated research area founded on atmospheric and ocean sciences in order to understand the physical and dynamical natures of the patterns and mechanisms of natural variability and anthropogenic changes. On top of this understanding, it is the focus of investigation how natural variability and anthropogenic changes affect and exert impact on our atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Knowledge of computation and analysis of massive data as well as physics, dynamics and circulation in the atmosphere and the oceans is a necessary skill for serious research in climate science. Considering the interdisciplinary nature of climate science, joint research with other fields and disciplines is strongly desired, which requires flexibility in curricula. We strive to coalesce education and research through collaborative research with graduate students in order to provide them with the best opportunity possible.
