Abstract: In the first part of the talk I will give a general survey on vortex motion in nonlinear transport models appearing in geophysical flows. Particular interest will concern the construction of periodic solutions for Euler and shallow water quasi-geostrophic equations SWQG and to exhibit the main feature  of  their bifurcation diagrams. In the last part of the talk I will discuss the existence of a Cantor family of  quasi-periodic solutions to SWQG equation using KAM theory.
