Which environmental science graduate schools have a heavy mathematical/computational bent?

So I'm an astrophysics major with no prior experience in environmental science (but I do read numerous environmental science papers for fun - I love interdisciplinary-ness). Also, most of my LORs will come from atmospheric scientists.

I'm not familiar with environmental science programs in general, but you might want to check out Caltech's ESE program. It should be pretty easy to work with computational people (especially in GPS). Nobody really knows who's in charge of ESE and what its status is in the university--a perfect interdisciplinary mess! http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php?n=1295

Oh cool - I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure there are people at CU Boulder who do stuff like that--NCAR is affiliated with CU Boulder, and there is a good deal of atmospheric stuff (including modeling) that goes on there.

Ah yeah, I know about that place. I do want to work at a place where I could share my work with others (where there aren't non-disclosure agreements), and i heard that these agreements exist for NASA and some other governmental agencies. Not sure about USGS and NCAR (they're probably more open, but still might have some of them).

Riverside, Irvine, Boulder, Harvard, CalTech, San Diego, UCLA, MIT, FSU, scripps..

Check out with where the authors of the papers and textbooks you've been reading are associated.

Not sure about NCAR (though I know who to ask to find out), but my understanding is that w/ USGS, once you go through internal review, you are allowed to publish/share the work freely. I do know that people with NCAR and USGS frequently collaborate with people from outside institutions, though, and I've seen several (and quite a few from NREL--different field, but same government-entity mentality) present work-in-progress at departmental seminars.
