CaCAO Days @ SIO 2024

Vision

We bring together scientists and mathematicians to exchange knowledge on mathematical and computational methods that are important in the Earth sciences. The plan is to create a comfortable environment to promote open and honest discussions which in turn spark new ideas and collaborations. The group consists of scientists, engineers and mathematicians at SIO/USCSD and a few visitors from nearby institutions (Caltech and U. of Arizona).

Execution

We will spend two days together and the workshop is limited to 40 participants. Day one features a few talks (20 mins, mostly students and postdocs) and leaves ample room for open discussion. Day 1 will also feature a longer "keynote" talk. The program for day 2, which also features a few short talks will be created during day 1. With all things being Bayesian, we update plans as more information becomes available.
