大气动力学的研究范围从线和重力波的研究到循环发生，天气状况，飓风，遥感应用和气候动力学。对气候和影响气候变化的因素的研究试图将陆地，海洋和大气之间现有的相互作用联系起来。此信息用于改进这些过程在全球气候模型中的表示。这项研究的最终目标是优化用于研究气候动态，气候变化和污染物全球迁移的全球气候模型的准确性。各种各样的观测，理论和建模策略被用来探索天气和气候的动态，以增进对气候的了解和预测。佐治亚理工学院的古气候研究致力于重建和理解突变的气候变化以及热带海洋-气候系统的长期行为。
Research in climate dynamics, ocean, and weather at Georgia Tech aims to better understand fundamental atmospheric and oceanic processes, global and regional climate variability, transport of energy and water vapor, hydroclimate, paleoclimate, and tropical ocean-atmosphere ocean interactions. Paleoclimate research at Georgia Tech is focused on reconstructing and understanding abrupt climate change and the long-term behavior of the tropical climate system. Research on marine systems includes both the coastal zone and open ocean problems including ocean modeling, sea-level rise, biogeochemical cycling, remote sensing and paleoceanography. Our students are trained with a variety of observational, theoretical, computational, and data science approaches to explore underlying dynamics and to conduct cutting-edge research towards improved understanding and predictions.
