The Department of Climate Dynamics of the College of Science is a focal point for research and graduate education in climate science at George Mason University. Climate dynamics is generally considered to encompass processes that determine the behavior of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface averaged over timescales of weeks to millennia. Understanding climate variability and predictability poses difficult mathematical, computational, and observational questions that have generated increased intellectual excitement in recent years. Because atmospheric behavior is strongly coupled to the oceans and land surface, physical oceanography and land surface physics can also be considered part of the science of climate dynamics.
