• The Gallery has some nice illustrations of work that we've done. (under construction)

Job Mailing Lists

Here are some mailing lists that may have relevant postings for post-docs and tenure-track positions. Caveat emptor: you will get a lot of emails, and most likely won't be relevant to you

• Met jobs
• ES (Earth Sciences) jobs net

Models

Models typically require a configuration file and your environment to be set up to suit the machine you're using. Configuration files are provided with the models. Machine-specific environment settings are discussed in the Computing Resources section of this wiki.

• SPINS
• MITgcm
• GeoClaw
• IGW
• WRF
• FEniCS
