Mathematics of Planet Earth II
This course concerns mathematical techniques applicable in modelling the Earth’s
climate. We will study fluid dynamics modelling and simplifications to shallow water equations, vortex
dynamics and reductions from continuous (PDEs) to discrete (ODEs) models (point vortices). We will
employ perturbation theory and asymptotic expansions, as well as elements of Hamiltonian dynamics.
Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor.
