************************************************* From: Augusto Neri <neri@xxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************* Dear Colleagues, we are pleased to announce that the 28th international conference on Mathematical Geophysics sponsored by the Committee on Mathematical Geophysics (CMG) of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) will be held in Pisa, Italy, on June 7-11, 2010 and will focus on: Modelling Earth Dynamics: Complexity, Uncertainty and Validation Understanding the evolution of our planet is becoming of increasing importance. The variable dynamics of the Earth's solid and fluid components testify to the complexity of non-linear relationships governing such coupled and multiphase systems. Mathematical models are a key tool for understanding these relationships, and represent the only mean for forecasting their evolution. The goal of this meeting is to present the state-of-the-art modelling capability to represent the different dynamics of Earth's components. Theoretical models of solid-earth dynamics, such as earthquake and volcanic processes, and of atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, including climatic and biological evolutionary processes, are welcome. The focus will be on the capability of models to describe the complex evolution of Earth systems and quantify the sources of uncertainty in their dynamics, as well as to reproduce direct observations and laboratory experiments of the investigated processes. Preliminary sessions * Geophysical fluid dynamics I - Volcanoes * Geophysical fluid dynamics II - Sub-surface and surface flows * Geophysical fluid dynamics III - Atmosphere and ocean * Geodynamics and geomagnetism * Brittle deformation and computational seismology * Environmental systems and climate * Quantifying the uncertainty in Earth systems * Data assimilation and model validation * Advances in analytical and computational techniques Local Organizing Committee * Augusto Neri (INGV Pisa, Chair) * Enzo Boschi (INGV President) * Sara Barsotti (INGV Pisa) * Mattia de'Michieli Vitturi (INGV Pisa) * Antonella Longo (INGV Pisa) * Tomaso Esposti Ongaro (INGV Pisa) * Franco Flandoli (Universita' di Pisa) * Paolo Papale (INGV Pisa) * Mauro Rosi (Universita' di Pisa) * Gilberto Saccorotti (INGV Pisa) * Maria Vittoria Salvetti (Universita' di Pisa) Advisory Scientific Committees CMG members * Daniel Rothman (CMG Chair) * Claudia Pasquero (CMG Secretary general) * Einat Aharonov (CMG Vice Chair) * Eli Tziperman (CMG Vice Chair) IUGG Representatives * Peiliang Xu (IAG representative) * Matthias Holschneider (IAGA representative) * Daniel Schertzer (IAHS representative) * Dick Peltier (IAMAS representative) * Gordon Swaters (IAPSO representative) * Yehuda Ben-Zion (IASPEI representative) * Augusto Neri (IAVCEI representative) For further conference information and circulars visit http://cmg2010.pi.ingv.it or send an email to cmg2010@xxxxxxxxxxx Thank you and looking forward to seeing you in Pisa!
