The ocean and atmosphere work together with living organisms to shape Earth's surface conditions. Princeton researchers employ multi-scale models of different complexities along with observational data to examine the climate system. This includes studying interactions between the stratosphere and troposphere, the interconnected evolution of atmospheric CO2 levels, ice volume and sea levels, climate oscillations spanning decades to millennia, how ocean tracers help track climate-influencing molecules, and the role of ocean currents and marine life in climate regulation.
