The GFD Program began in 1959 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with the aim of introducing a then relatively new topic in mathematical physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, to graduate students in physical sciences. It has been held each summer since and promotes an exchange of ideas among the many distinct fields that share a common interest in the nonlinear dynamics of rotating, stratified fluids. 2022 GFD PROGRAM FLYER (PDF) Celebrating 50 years » View a slideshow to honor the fiftieth year of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program
