IMA Conference on the Mathematics of the Climate System
12-15 September 2011, University of Reading, UK
http://www.ima.org.uk/Conferences/mcs2011.html
First Announcement and Call for Papers
This conference will be about the construction and use of mathematical
models of the climate system.
Such models aid our understanding of how certain climate processes
interact. They also enable us to assess, interpret and diagnose more
comprehensive climate models. Finally, they provide readily
understandable paradigms for dynamical climate-system behaviour. The
conference will focus on three related topics:
1. the extraction of mathematical models from climate data and
climate-model output (homogenisation, stochastic model reduction,
bistability and metastable states, low frequency variability,
data-driven coarse-graining, set-oriented methods, trend
identification, time-series analysis);
2. reduced models and their dynamics (linear response theory,
bifurcations, extreme events, uncertainty); and
3. testing hypotheses about the climate system using statistical
frameworks (emulators, Bayesian methods, nonparametric methods,
equitability).
Confirmed Invited Speakers:
Daan Crommelin (CWI, Amsterdam)
Michael Ghil (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris and UCLA, Los Angeles)
Chris Jones (University of Warwick)
Jonathan Rougier (University of Bristol)
Joe Tribbia (National Centre of Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder,
Colarado)
