State of the Planet: Mathematics of Climate Change
The mathematical community offers a wealth of largely untapped resources for advancing climate change research. Yet the subject is full of mathematical challenges, ranging from continuous and stochastic dynamical systems, to inverse problems, data assimilation, efficient numerical numerical methods, quantifying uncertainty, etc. Let's focus some of our energy on these problems!

Subject: Joint Math Meetings: Challenges in Climate Change, Jan 6-9, San Diego
Dear Colleagues,
Are you concerned about the State of the Planet? Do you wish you could
help?
Come to the Joint Math Meetings in San Diego, Jan 6th-9th, 2008!
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2109_intro.html
There will be an unprecedented 4-day program on mathematical challenges in
climate change. See
http://www.bowdoin.edu/faculty/m/mlzeeman/state-of-the-planet/index.shtml
for more information, including a detailed schedule of events.
Are you a graduate student or recent PhD? You can APPLY FOR FUNDING to
attend. But act fast: the deadline is Tuesday Dec. 4th. Application
instructions can be found at
http://www.bowdoin.edu/faculty/m/mlzeeman/state-of-the-planet/index.shtml
We welcome applications from math, stat, cs, climate modeling, econ, policy,
etc.
Please help to spread the word!
We hope to see you there,
Inez Fung, Co-Director, Berkeley Institute of the Environment
Chris Jones, Guthridge Distinguished Professor of Mathematics, U.N.C. Chapel
Hill
Mary Lou Zeeman, R. Wells Johnson Professor of Mathematics, Bowdoin College
