Abstract: We demonstrate that the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation given by ${\displaystyle }$ heta_t + left<u,

abla heta ight>= 0,;;; heta =

abla imes (-Delta)^{-1/2} u,${\displaystyle }$ is the geodesic equation on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold $M$ in the right-invariant $dot{H}^{-1/2}$ metric. We show by example, that the Riemannian exponential map is smooth and non-Fredholm, and that the sectional curvature at the identity is unbounded of both signs.
