The Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) provides graduate education through the Department of Geosciences, focusing on theoretical research and computational modeling of Earth's climate system. This interdisciplinary program covers physical and chemical oceanography, paleoclimatology, and atmospheric sciences through an extensive curriculum and seminar series. Students gain unique advantages through collaboration with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), where many scientists serve as instructors and where students utilize GFDL's advanced supercomputing facilities. The Department of Geosciences partners with GFDL to support this initiative. The adaptable graduate curriculum enables research and coursework across diverse fields such as geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric physics and chemistry, land-ocean biogeochemistry, climate modeling, air-sea interactions, climate change studies, and paleoclimatology. Additionally, students can investigate environmental policy through Princeton's STEP Program and High Meadows Environmental Institute, bridging climate science with public policy applications.
