A major theme is the establishment of a physical basis for understanding, observing, and modeling climate and global change. PAOS is coordinated with the Environmental Program at the University of Colorado. Interdisciplinary education and research opportunities exist with the Hydrology Program and the Environmental Policy Program. PAOS has extensive computer facilities and laboratories in remote sensing, chemistry, and hydrodynamics. The presence of leading laboratories in the environmental sciences in Boulder, including the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the NOAA Environmental Research Laboratories, provides additional opportunities for a rich educational experience.
Opportunities also exist for involvement in field programs.
