 Research at UTIG
Atmospheric and Ocean Dynamics at UTIG

The atmosphere-ocean dynamics group at UTIG has close ties with climate scientists at UT including the climate group at the Department of Geological Sciences, and the oceanographic remote sensing group at the Center for Space Research and collaborates with the geologic climate records and ice sheet dynamics groups at UTIG.

People:
P.I.s

Brian Arbic

 

Data analysis of ecadal changes in the salinities and temperatures of the deep ocean, idealized modeling of oceanic mesoscale eddies, and global models of tides and paleotides

Charles Jackson

 

Atmospheric science, climate modeling and climate model prediction uncertainty, inverse model studies of abrupt climate change

Rob Scott

 

Oceanic processes, air-sea interactions using satellite observations and numerical models.

 

Here is a growing list of our general interests:
- Abrupt Climate Change
- Uncertainties in Model Predictions of Future Climate
- Bayesian Stochastic Inversion
- Advancement of Parameterization of Eddy-Topography Effects in Ocean Circulation Models
- Quantifying the Contribution of Ocean Dynamics to SST Anomaly Formation

 

Climate Research Opportunities for Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellowships
- Graduate Student Fellowship
- Postdoctoral Fellowship (position filled)
