The Physical Climate System

pcs stream page banner

How does the Climate System work? How has it worked in the past, and what is happening to it now? Understanding the science of the climate system is one of the most pressing challenges today.

Researchers across the Physical Climate System stream use cutting edge approaches to study all aspects of the climate system, present, past and future, with strong links to climate modelling, climate impacts and mitigation. Use the key words below to help you find DTP supervisors associated with those areas, and to find out more about their current ideas for studentship projects.
