9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 From: "Dietterich, Hannah R" <hdietterich@xxxxxxxx> CALL FOR EARLY CAREER PARTICIPANTS at the workshop: "Bridging the gap between mathematical modelling of lava flows and field observations" This strategic workshop will take place in *Edinburgh, UK, 9th â?? 13th June 2025. *It is hosted and funded by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences, and we are also grateful to the QJMAM/IMA fund for an award to support the participation of ECRs. This strategic workshop will bring together applied mathematicians and physical volcanologists to tackle major challenges in predicting and understanding lava flows. The aim of mathematical modelling of lava flows is to reduce the complex physical system into a simpler configuration that retains enough key processes to provide valuable insights. The skill of the modeller is in selecting the processes that are included and thus close collaboration with volcanologists is vital for success. At this workshop, we will deploy this collaborative modelling methodology to research questions including: - How to best mathematically capture non-isothermal features of lava flows? - What physics controls the bifurcation of lava flows? - What kind of data is needed to drive the next steps of mathematical model development? The participating ECRs will play a key role in the working groups during the intensive week-long program. They will be encouraged to write-up a summary of their groupâ??s results with a hope to extending the collaborations. Applications: Up to six competitive scholarships are available for PhD students and early career researchers (up to two years post PhD) to attend the program. This will cover accommodation and meals in Edinburgh, as well as substantial support towards travel costs. We encourage applications from underrepresented groups. To apply, please send a short CV and half-page cover letter expressing your interest to ehinton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx by *Friday 20th December*. Informal enquiries can also be made to this email address.
