- Biology, Chemistry, and Physics of Biofilms: Survey of basics, by Isaac Klapper
- Low-Order Climate Models, by Daniel Koll
- What Makes a Planet Habitable? by Daniel Koll
- Air-Sea Carbon Dioxide Exchange, by Nicole Lovenduski
- Glacial-Interglacial Mechanisms: How can we explain the observed 80-100ppm difference between warm (high CO2) interglacials and cold (low CO2) glacials? by Irina Marinov
- The Ocean Carbon Pumps: How do the oceanic carbon pumps control CO2? Theory and models, by Irina Marinov
- Mnimal Complexity Paleoclimate Modeling: Connection between the carbon cycle and glacial cycles, by Samantha Oestreicher
- Oceans: Dynamics, Transport/Mixing and Climate Change, by Emily Shuckburgh
