Teaching Interests: Atmospheric dynamics, mathematical methods.
Dr. Dutton's interests span a number of topics in nonlinear atmospheric dynamics. Current interests focus on the properties of attractors of hydrodynamical systems, on problems in predictability, and on global properties of atmospheric flow.
Dr. Dutton is Past Chair of
the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, National Research Council,
and is active in the affairs of the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research and the American Meteorological Society, in addition to service
on other boards and committees concerned with public science policy.
