Handbook of Dynamics and Probability

Peter Müller studied physics and mathematics at the University of Hamburg. He received his Diplom degree (Physics) in 1970, his Ph.D. (Geophysics) in 1974, and his habilitation (Geophysics) in 1981. He worked at Harvard University as a research associate before moving to the University of Hawaii in 1982, where he was a professor of Oceanography in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology until his retirement in 2013. He is now a professor emeritus. His research interests cover a broad range of topics in oceanography and climate research, especially wave dynamics, stochastic (climate) models, and foundations of complex system theories. He has published two books and numerous articles. Peter Müller was the organizer of the 'Aha Huliko'a Hawaiian Winter Workshop series and for ten years the chief editor of the Journal of Physical Oceanography.
