Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Addressing the scientific and societal challenges of climate by observing, analyzing, and modeling the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, ocean, and climate.
Our community of faculty and students studies the oceans, atmosphere, land and cryosphere through making and analyzing observations, coding simulations, and developing theory.
Our work improves understanding of the past, present, and future of Earth’s climate. Although the basic facts of anthropogenic climate change are well established, there remain a vast number of important unanswered questions regarding the history of Earth’s climate, how it will change going forward, including what these imply for society’s needs and ability to migrate and adapt to climate change.

Research Groups
Huybers Group
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
We study how and why climate changes and the implications for human wellbeing.
Jacob Group
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
The Jacob group uses atmospheric observations from satellites and other platforms, in combination with advanced models, to better understand the chemical composition of the atmosph
Johnston Group
Geobiology, Geochemistry, and Earth History, Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
The primary goal within the group is to better understand the relationship between the evolution of the biosphere (namely microorganisms) and that of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere.

Kuang Group
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
Tropical convection and large scale atmosphere-ocean dynamics
Linz Group
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
McColl Group
Climate, Atmosphere, and Oceans
My group uses theory, numerical models and observations to understand the terrestrial water cycle, and its relation to weather and climate over land.
