About us
The Program commences with two weeks of Principal Lectures focusing on a particular theme. The theme is "Instabilities and Bifurcations in GFD". The lecturers, Joseph Pedlosky (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) and Laurette Tuckerman (PMMH-CNRS, ESPCI, Sorbonne University), will discuss instabilities and bifurcations of rotating and stratified flows. Topics will include fundamental theory and examples of bifurcations with symmetries, instabilities in models of the ocean and atmosphere, and nonlinear evolution that includes chaos and turbulence.
Up to ten competitive fellowships are available for graduate students. Successful applicants will receive stipends of $8,430 and an allowance for travel expenses within the United States. Fellows are expected to participate full-time (40 hours per week) for the full ten weeks of the Program. We seek applicants from all areas of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, and particularly encourage applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
