• Circulation of atmospheres and oceans
• Geophysical turbulence
• Waves, jets and vortices
• Fluid dynamics in climate modelling
• Parameterization of small-scale processes
• Laminar flows, instabilities, transition to turbulence
• Lava and mantle flows
• Fluid phenomena in the magnetosphere
• Drops and bubbles in the environment
• Flows in complex terrains
• Observations and lab experiments
• Gravity currents
• Convection and heat transport
• Air-sea interactions
• Computational methods for geophysical fluids
