Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Climate: Linking Models to Data
A 3-day collaborative workshop of the research networks Network+ on Emergence and Physics far from Equilibrium and CliMathNet
www.climathnet.org/dartington2015/
Please note – some sponsorship is available to attend this meeting. Please see below for further information.
Understanding the earth’s climate system poses many of the challenges that exist more widely in systems far from equilibrium. There are non-linear processes acting across a broad range of spatio-temporal scales, the system is driven and is far from equilibrium. In addition, we have only one realization of our (changing) climate and observational data is very limited. This workshop seeks to bring some of the ideas and methodology of non-equilibrium dynamics to bear on understanding the dynamics and variability of climate events, extremes and the emergence of spatio-temporal correlations.
Keynote speakers include
-
Daan Crommelin (CWI Amsterdam)
-
Brad Marston (Brown University,RI)
-
Lenny Smith (University of Oxford)
-
Jacques Vanneste (University of Edinburgh)
The workshop aims to review current work and identify future areas where non-equilibrium statistical mechanics methodologies can contribute to areas such as:
-
maximum entropy principle approaches to environmental and ecological systems
-
fluctuation-dissipation methods in climate and weather
-
spatio-temporal correlations and large deviation models for extreme events
-
non-equilibrium thermodynamics applied to atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere interactions
-
non-equilibrium and complex systems approaches to interactions between humans and climate
