The Climate & Oceans research area at the U of A Geosciences focuses on understanding Earth’s climate history, modern climate dynamics, and ocean science through an interdisciplinary lens.
It integrates geology, geophysics, and atmospheric sciences to study global change and the processes that shape our planet’s climate systems
