Moving toward a long-term collaboration around MPE

December 18, 2013

MPE2013 was launched at the winter meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society in Montreal on December 7, 2013. Now, at the end of 2013, more than 140 partners are affiliated with MPE2013. "Mathematics of Planet Earth" needs to continue, and this is why MPE2013 will morph into MPE on January 1, 2014.  [...]

Who ran the MPE2013 Daily Blogs during the last year?

December 17, 2013

During all of MPE2013 we could enjoy almost daily blogs, in both French and English. Now that the year 2013 is coming to an end, we can look back and ask ourselves who ran the blog? None of us had realized at the beginning what a challenge this would represent. [...]

Ninth Simons Public Lecture


On November 4, 2013, Emily A. Carter (Princeton) delivered the ninth and final public lecture in the series. The title was Quantum Mechanics and the Future of the Planet and the location was the Korn Convocation Hall at UCLA.

Xiaoming Wang Department of Mathematics, Florida State University

Description

The oceans and the atmosphere define the environment in which we live, and its understanding is of tremendous economic and social importance. Mathematical models are a key component of our understanding of the oceans and the atmosphere, and thus the Earth’s climate system. Due to uncertainties in various processes or components in this coupled oceans-atmosphere system, the mathematical models are subject to stochastic effects, such as uncertain parameters, random boundary or initial conditions, and missing or unresolved mechanisms. Therefore the coupled oceans-atmosphere system is essentially a stochastic dynamical system, with multiple components, multiple time-space scales, and multiple interacting physical-chemical-biological processes. Meanwhile, the field of stochastic dynamical systems has achieved significant progress in the past decade, benefiting from the fruitful cross-fertilization of the dynamical systems and stochastic analysis communities. The further advances in the investigation of the coupled oceans-atmosphere system, as a stochastic dynamical system, can greatly benefit from the participation of the stochastic dynamical systems community.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts from the oceans-atmosphere community and the stochastic dynamical systems community, including some people who have been working in this interface, to summarize the past achievements and exchange ideas for future studies. It is expected that this workshop will play an important role in nurturing and guiding this exciting interdisciplinary field.
