Interdisciplinary Research Programs in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

The Geophysics Fluid Dynamics (GFD) program consists of a summer study school of ten weeks duration each summer. The primary aim of the program is to visit a different specific area of GFD each summer, review fundamentals, and to help each other to conduct original research. Participants are approximately ten graduate student fellows, visiting graduate students and both visiting and returning scientists. The first two weeks consist of principal lectures in the summer's topic conducted by an expert in that area. Lectures by staff and visitors follow at a rate of roughly one or two per day for the next six weeks. in the last week, the fellows present results of a project and a written report. The fellows also write up the principal lectures. All are collected in a volume and on the web.
