Courses
ATS 606: Introduction to Climate (Spring 2028)
A graduate-level course covering the exchanges of energy, water, and momentum among the atmosphere, surface, vegetation, and oceans, as well as climate variability, feedback processes, paleoclimate, and climate change.
ATS 753: Global Hydrologic Cycle (Fall 2027)
A graduate-level course examining the hydrologic cycle, with emphasis on moisture transport and exchange between the atmosphere and land surface, the water budgets of key meteorological phenomena, and the climatology and distribution of atmospheric water across space and time.
ATS 780: Fundamentals of Climate Change (Fall 2028)
An experimental graduate-level course exploring the fundamentals of climate change through the lens of physical theory, emphasizing mechanistic understanding and theoretical frameworks. Topics include land–ocean warming and drying contrasts, polar amplification, hydrological cycle paradigms, and responses of oceanic and atmospheric circulation to global warming.
