Climate dynamics courses offered in MIT and Harvard
IntroductionThe study of climate may be the broadest of all scientific problems. Harvard and MIT between the two institutions cover many of the major elements of climate dynamics. Students are encouraged to take advantage of courses, seminars, faculty and other expertise at both places. The following listing of available courses here is by no means exhaustive: both MIT and Harvard have a broad spectrum of relevant offerings in all aspects of physical, chemical and biological sciences, mathematics, economy, public health and public policy, that bear on the understanding of climate change and its consequences. Students, or prospective students, should consult any faculty member at either institution for further advice.The two institutions attempt to remain coordinated in terms of courses offered, and encourage informal interactions between the students and faculty at both places.

A proposed curriculum for graduate students interested in climate dynamicsFirst year:
Fall term:
- Applied Mathematics I: ODEs and asymptotic analytic methods (Harvard APM 201: Physical Mathematics I)
- Introduction to geophysical fluid dynamics (Harvard Earth and Planetary Sciences 232: Dynamic Meteorology; MIT 12.800)
- Introduction to climate phenomenology (e.g. MIT Climate Physics and Chemistry; Harvard Physics of climate)
- Elective (e.g. MIT Inference From Data and Models)
Spring term:- Applied Mathematics II: partial differential equations (Harvard APM 202: Physical Mathematics II)
- Climate dynamics (Harvard Earth and Planetary Sciences 231: Climate Dynamics)
- Waves (MIT 12.802: Wave Motions in the Ocean and Atmosphere)
- General circulation of the oceans or general circulation of the atmosphere (MIT 12.810 Dynamics of the Atmosphere, or MIT 12.801 Steady Circulation of the Oceans, or MIT 12.803 Quasi-balanced Circulations in Oceans and Atmospheres)
Second year:
- Baroclinic instability
- Time series analysis and inverse methods/ Inference From Data and Models
- Nonlinear dynamics and chaos
- Turbulence in the Atmosphere and Ocean
- Numerical methods
- Paleoclimate
- Breadth courses: (e.g. Harvard great papers in Earth Sciences)
Faculty doing research in climate dynamicsMITHarvard- Brian Farrell: dynamic meteorology, origin of the mid latitude cyclone, jets and turbulence, climate dynamics, generalized stability theory.
- Peter Huybers:climate change across space and time scales
- Zhiming Kuang:tropical convection and large scale dynamics
- Dan Schrag: climate and climate change over the broadest range of Earth history, changes in ocean circulation, El Ni駉, ice-age cycles, Snowball Earth.
- Eli Tziperman: Large scale climate and ocean dynamics, including El Nino, thermohaline circulation, abrupt climate change, glacial cycles and equable (warm) climates; advanced methods of ocean data assimilation.
See also, Harvard atmospheric chemistry and climate web page, and - Steve Wofsy: Atmospheric and environmental chemistry.
- Jim Anderson: Chemistry and Physics of Climate and Earth System Change.
- Michael McElroy: atmospheric chemistry, climate and the impact of human activity; stratospheric ozone; chemical composition of the troposphere; past climate changes; Climate and public policy.
