Courses
Climate Statistics
The course provides an introduction of the application of statistical methods to atmospheric data. Topics in the course include the probability, empirical distribution, probability distribution, hypothesis tests, time series analysis and multivariate statistics.
Climate Dynamics
The course provides an introduction to main topics in climate dynamics, including the basics of climate system, teleconnection in atmospheric circulation, low-frequency modes in climate system, air-sea interaction, air-land interaction.
Seminar in advanced physics of Earth’s interior
A graduate seminar that discusses very recent advances in mineral physics and geophysical observations to the earth’s interior such as seismology and MT methods.
