The focus of the research carried out by the Fluid Dynamics, Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences research group is on the highly coupled components of the climate system; including the atmosphere, the oceans (both coastal and large-scale), the cryosphere, and the land-surface. The group also has expertise in the ocean carbon cycle and ocean ecosystems modelling.
