UEA Meteorology, Oceanography and Climate Dynamics

We have research interests in many aspects of the physics and dynamics of the ocean-atmosphere system, including physical oceanography, climate modelling, climate variability, polar meteorology, boundary-layer and mesoscale meteorology, and air pollution meteorology.

We are based in the School of Environmental Sciences and the School of Mathematics.
Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Seminar Series
These are held every Friday during semester at 1 pm in the ZICER seminar room. All are welcome.
