Environmental
Modeling and Prediction
Quantitative
analysis of marine and atmospheric systems is an important part
of SoMAS research. Our faculty are involved in a diversity of research
efforts that employ modeling and other quantitative tools to better
understand and predict oceanographic, atmospheric and ecological
processes. By combining mathematical models and empirical data,
SoMAS faculty gain insight into the causes and consequences of
natural phenomena and human disturbances. Here are a few examples
of current quantitative research at SoMAS:
|
Understanding
the causes and consequences large-scale oceanographic phenomena
Role
of oceanic processes on global carbon cycles
Evaluating
mechanisms of climate change
Exploring
the impact of physical circulation and oceanographic features
on biological resources
Assessing
anthropogenic impacts on food web dynamics
Predicing
regional weather from meso-scale models
