This course will introduce mathematical techniques, including analytical, computational, and machine learning methods, used to study climate change. Course material will examine both historical evidence of climate change and future predictions related to climatological and societal impacts based on current climate models. The course will have a strong computational component to study the governing geophysical fluid dynamics equations in climate models and their properties. The course will also examine the application of learned principles to climate modelling through in-depth discussions of journal readings.
