Research Summary
Dynamical Oceanography
Climate Modeling
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
John Marshall is an oceanographer interested in climate and the general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, which he studies through the development of mathematical and numerical models of key physical and biogeochemical processes.
He directs the modeling team of MIT's Climate Modeling Initiative which is developing a new generation climate model exploiting our latest understanding of ocean, land, atmospheric and biogeochemical processes, and new developments in algorithms, computing technology and software design. The approach is wide-ranging and encompasses algorithmic, computational, physical and technological innovations, drawing together elements of computational fluid dynamics, statistics, meteorology, oceanography and computer science. Models developed under the initiative will be central tools of ESI endeavors.
