Dear Colleague,
The purpose of this message is to announce a session at the European
Geophysical Union meeting in Vienna, 24--29 April 2005, entitled
"Wavelet and time-frequency analysis in the earth sciences"
The session is being organized by J.M. Lilly and S.C. Olhede. A detailed
description of the session, preliminary list of solicited speakers, and
some additional information are provided below.
Wavelet analysis and related approaches provide powerful new tools for
attacking problems involving statistical nonstationarity and coherent
structures, both in time series and in two or three dimensional fields.
Our goal is to bring together researchers involved with the development
of new mathematical and statistical methods with others whose interests
require, and provide the impetus for, such new approaches. We would
like to encourage colleagues in either of these two categories to submit
abstracts.
Abstract submission is now open, with a deadline of January 21, about
two months from now.
Please feel free to forward this to other interested researchers.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Lilly <[log in to unmask]>, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie
Sofia Olhede <[log in to unmask]>, Imperial College London

Session information for NP4.05
Wavelet and time-frequency analysis in the earth sciences
Convener: J.M. Lilly Co-convener: S.C. Olhede
Programme: Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics
Many natural processes of great interest are neither periodic nor
stationary. Wavelet and time-frequency (or time-scale) analysis therefore
holds much potential for earth scientists. Despite the vast array of new
methods which have emerged over the past decade, there is substantial
scope for broader application of these methods to real-world problems,
as well as for the development of further mathematical tools to address
outstanding physical questions.
The purpose of this session is to survey the most promising methods for
the earth sciences, and to highlight specific examples of practical
applications. Several areas of special interest are:
--- nonstationary stochastic modelling
--- extraction of signals immersed in noise
--- wavelet decompositions in two and three dimensions
--- multiple-window methods.
Statistical considerations are particularly encouraged.
